Without directly naming Himanshi, he claimed that religion was being used to create negativity around him and urged her not to turn a personal matter into a source of public controversy."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," he wrote.

Who has more money and who has less? Well, if you really want to know, the bank statements can settle that. But money was never the measure of character. Character is how far you're willing to fall when you're desperate for attention, relevance, or a few more views," Asim added. Taking a dig at host Paras, Asim said, "And to the man behind the microphone, sitting there with his stomach hanging out like a pig while making gossip his profession brother, respectfully, I'd suggest spending a little less time discussing other people's lives and a little more time in the gym."Did Asim Riaz Ask Himanshi Khurana To Convert During Their Relationship?
