The relationship between Himanshi Khurana and Asim Riaz has returned to the spotlight after recent comments by the actress about their time together. The two, who met during Bigg Boss 13 and later dated for several years, announced their separation in 2023. Nearly three years after their split, comments made by Himanshi during a podcast have prompted Asim to publicly present his side of the story.
Asim responds to Himanshi’s comments
Asim addressed the issue through a post on X, where he disputed several claims associated with their relationship. He questioned why, if their relationship had been going through serious difficulties as described, Himanshi had contacted him again months later and expressed an interest in restarting the relationship.
The actor also claimed that he had messages and screenshots relating to their conversations. He indicated that he could make those exchanges public if he felt it became necessary. Asim’s response has added another layer to a disagreement that had largely remained a matter of discussion among their followers since the couple’s separation.
His response to the religious issue
A significant part of the recent discussion concerns comments about religion. Himanshi had said during the podcast that her former partner wanted her to understand and respect his religion. Asim rejected the suggestion that he had ever asked her to change her religion.
He said he had never asked her to convert and urged that religion should not be used as a point of conflict between them. Asim described the subject as sensitive and maintained that bringing a deeply personal matter into a public dispute was inappropriate.
How their relationship began
Asim and Himanshi met while participating in Bigg Boss 13. Their relationship developed during and after the reality show, and they remained together for several years. The pair frequently appeared together in public and on social media, becoming one of the more closely followed celebrity couples associated with the show.
In 2023, however, the two confirmed that they had gone their separate ways. Since then, both have continued with their individual professional lives, while occasional comments about their past relationship have continued to attract public attention.
Himanshi’s recent comments reignite discussion
The latest controversy began after Himanshi spoke about her past relationship during a podcast. Her comments focused on the expectations and differences that existed between the two during their time together. She said that her former partner wanted her to understand his religious background and show respect toward it.
Asim’s latest statement represents his version of events, while Himanshi’s comments reflect her own experience of the relationship. Neither side’s account should be treated as independently established fact without further evidence.
For now, the former couple’s public exchange has once again put their past relationship under discussion, with social media users closely following the statements from both sides.
