The ongoing public dispute between Asim Riaz and Himanshi Khurana has taken another turn. The Bigg Boss 13 runner-up has made a new claim about his former girlfriend. Asim Riaz said that Himanshi Khurana contacted him three months after their breakup and wanted to get back together. This comes right after he strongly denied that he ever asked her to change her religion.
The two reality TV stars have been in the news since Himanshi Khurana spoke about their past relationship on a podcast. Her comments about religious differences led to a strong reaction from Asim Riaz. He has now added another layer to the story by sharing details about a private message he says he received from her.
Asim Riaz Claims Himanshi Reached Out in March
Asim Riaz took to X (formerly Twitter) and made a direct claim about Himanshi Khurana. He said that she messaged him in March, which was three months after their breakup, wanting to give their relationship another chance. He also mentioned that he still has screenshots of their conversation and might share them if needed.
“Bad relationship-Thyroid, anxiety, depression, nose bleed, Face old, Smell from hair, face acne, So why did you msg me after 3 months in March and wanted to get back to this relationship, don’t worry, I have the msg, screenshot, if needed I will post next time.”
Asim Riaz listed several personal struggles in his post, seemingly pointing out the difficulties Himanshi Khurana had mentioned about their relationship. He questioned why she would want to return to a relationship she had described as problematic. His post made it clear that he was not interested in rekindling things and that he had proof to back up his claim.
Himanshi Khurana’s Podcast Comments Spark Debate
The controversy started when Himanshi Khurana appeared on Paras Chhabra’s podcast. During the conversation, she spoke about the role religion played in her relationship with Asim Riaz. She clarified that she would not call it a direct conversation about conversion. However, she said that Asim Riaz had often spoken to her about his faith and wanted her to understand and accept it.
“Conversion nahi bolungi, par woh apne religion ki achhi baatein bata rahe the, sab bata rahe the. Achhi baat hai. Woh chahte the ki main achha samajhkar accept karu, lekin mujhe manzoor nahi tha.”
Himanshi Khurana also spoke about the emotional struggle she went through at the time. She said she started feeling guilty about her own faith. She even began wondering what would happen to her after she died. Her comments led to speculation about whether she had been asked to change her religion during the relationship.
Asim Riaz Denies Religious Conversion Claims
Asim Riaz responded to Himanshi Khurana’s podcast comments with a long post on Instagram. He firmly denied that he ever asked anyone to change their religion. He also took a personal dig, saying he was the one who pushed her toward fitness.
“I never asked anyone to change their religion. Not once. Matter of fact, I was the one who pushed you towards fitness. You’ve been in this shape only after meeting me, before that, everyone knew how you looked. So please, don’t use religion as a weapon. It’s a deeply sensitive subject, and turning something so personal into a reason for people to hate me is immature and only shows how low you’re willing to go for attention.”
Asim Riaz also addressed claims that Himanshi Khurana had played a role in his career or financial success. He made it clear that he built his career on his own. He added that bank statements could settle any questions about who has more money, but money was never the measure of character.
Asim Riaz Takes a Dig at Paras Chhabra
Asim Riaz also criticized Paras Chhabra for bringing up old relationships and personal matters years later. He suggested that turning someone else’s past into gossip said more about the person discussing it than the people involved.
“Years later, digging through old relationship and personal life just to create more gossip says more about the person digging than the person being talked about.”
Asim Riaz went further and made a personal comment about Paras Chhabra’s appearance. He suggested that Paras should spend less time discussing other people’s lives and more time in the gym. He called Paras a “pig” in his post, which added more fuel to the fire.
Himanshi Khurana Shares First Post After Asim’s Claim
Himanshi Khurana shared her first Instagram story hours after Asim Riaz made his claim about her trying to reconcile. She posted a picture of a scenic view from her balcony with the caption “Such a beautiful day”. She also added Ray Charles’ song Oh, What A Beautiful Morning as the background track.
Her post did not directly address Asim Riaz’s claims. Many saw it as her way of not engaging with the controversy. She chose to share a peaceful moment instead of responding to the allegations. This came after Asim Riaz had posted his lengthy statement denying conversion pressure and claiming she wanted to get back together.
The Backstory of Asim Riaz and Himanshi Khurana
Asim Riaz and Himanshi Khurana met on Bigg Boss 13 in 2019. Their connection on the show was one of the most talked-about relationships that season. After the show ended, they continued their relationship for several years. They announced their separation in December 2023 after being together for around four years.
At the time of their breakup, Himanshi Khurana shared a note saying they were “sacrificing our love for our different religious beliefs”. Asim Riaz later confirmed that they had mutually decided to part ways because of their respective religious beliefs. The couple had asked for privacy from fans and the media during that time.
Himanshi Khurana’s Emotional Struggle
During her podcast appearance, Himanshi Khurana opened up about the deep emotional conflict she experienced. She said she felt like she was betraying her God. She recalled a moment where she felt compelled to complete the Char Dham pilgrimage and visit all the temples before making any decision about her faith.
“I felt like I was betraying my God. I felt I wouldn’t be able to do this anymore. So I said I want to visit Char Dham and all the pilgrimages before that, because after that I would never be able to meet them. It was like I was saying goodbye.”
Himanshi Khurana revealed that the inner turmoil reached a point where she even questioned whether she would be “cremated or buried”. This made her realize how deeply her faith was tied to her identity. She said that while there was nothing wrong with her partner sharing his beliefs, she was not comfortable accepting them herself.
