Asim Riaz responds to claims by his ex-partner Himanshi Khurana, saying he never asked her to change her religion. In a statement posted by NDTV, Asim rejects the allegation and emphasizes that he does not use religion as a tool in personal matters.
The reported dispute centers on whether Asim encouraged Himanshi to convert to Islam. Asim also references his past relationship with her, saying he was the person who pushed her toward fitness and that her improved physique dates to after she met him. NDTV’s coverage frames the response as a denial of conversion-related accusations while presenting Asim’s counter-claims about the relationship’s influence on her lifestyle.
Across the two NDTV pieces, the core point is consistent: Asim asserts that he did not seek any religious change for Himanshi and specifically urges that religion not be used as a weapon. The outlets differ only in wording—one headline focuses on “never asking to change religion,” while the other highlights his denial and caution against using religion coercively.
