Asim Riaz denies ex-girlfriend's conversion claims

Actormodel Asim Riaz issued a public rebuttal on August 24, 2026, denying claims made by his ex-girlfriend Himanshi Khurana that he pressured her to convert to Islam during their relationship. His statement on Instagram came days after Khurana discussed their past religious differences on a podcast. The controversy began when Khurana appeared on a podcast hosted by fellow Bigg Boss 13 contestant Paras Chhabra. During the conversation, she addressed reports about her relationship with Riaz, clarifying that she did not consider the situation a conversion. "I would not call it conversion, but he was telling me the good things about his religion and explaining everything," Khurana stated.
