The ongoing feud between Abhinav Shukla and Asim Riaz has been making headlines for a while now, even escalating beyond the screen as the two continue to make sharp exchanges on social media. Abhinav and Asim had a heated altercation on the reality show Battleground, where the former came out to defend his wife, Rubina Dilaik, who is a part of the show. However, things later took a disturbing turn when Abhinav revealed receiving a death threat from a social media user, who allegedly claimed to have ties with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Sharing the threat on social media, Abhinav shared details of the message that he received that read, 'I am from Lawrence Bishnoi's gang. I have your address. Should I come over and shoot you with an AK-47 just as it was done with Salman Khan? Consider this your last warning. Say anything about Asim, and your name will be on the list."

Reaching out to the Punjab Police, Abhinav tweeted, 'DEATH THREATS to my family! The person seems to be from Chandigarh/Mohali. Please act firmly & promptly. To anyone who recognises the person, please report to the Punjab Police DGP."
Amid the escalating situation, the TV actor has now admitted to being capable of being 'harmful" and that he can even kill someone to protect his family. Speaking to Shardul Pandit, Abhinav opened up about his daughters, stating that he is old school and about the things that he won't allow them to do. 'I'm an old-school male. Males should be capable of harm. He shouldn't do harm, but to protect his family, he should be capable of doing harm. So that is ending," the actor said.

Further in the conversation, Abhinav even declared that if necessary, he can kill a person to save his family. 'I will kill him with my bare hands. I won't think, 'What is happening?' I will go for it. So I am capable of being harmful, but I don't do harm," he continued.
Prior to these, Abhinav had posted a lengthy note on Instagram, taking a pointed jab at Asim Riaz, further prompting the threatening messages from an Instagram account under the name of Ankush Gupta. On the other hand, Asim quickly dismissed the seriousness of the threats, stating that Abhinav had been trying to gain sympathy.

After undergoing surgery to remove the 'tennis ball-sized tumour' from her liver, Dipika has been recovering at home. Consequently, Dipika's husband and TV actor Shoaib Ibrahim decided to celebrate his 38th birthday celebration on Friday in a low-key fashion. On Saturday, he shared a vlog from his birthday, in which he addressed his fans and said, 'This time, I didn't plan anything. I didn't feel like celebrating.'

Shoaib Ibrahim thanked God for removing the malignant tumour from Dipika Kakar's liver, but also claimed that further treatment is pending.

But since there's a flu doing the rounds, she still has a cold,' added Shoaib. He revealed that they'd planned a grand celebration for Ruhaan's second birthday this month, but God had other plans. Shoaib then showed a glimpse of the decoration for his birthday in the hall and faces of his family members present for the occasion. Dipika could be spotted too, but she had her face covered with a surgical mask as a precautionary measure.

Dipikar said that she's saved a few sips of the protein shake, which she'll have later in the day to celebrate Shoaib's birthday. Later, the Sasural Simar Ka removed her mask and addressed the fans with moist eyes. 'When you hear a news like that, bad thoughts crop up in your head despite being strong and brave. I thank the almighty that I'm home and we're all together. I also thank Him for having Shoaib in my life. I've never said it to him personally,' said Dipika. She added that Shoaib loves her 'unconditionally,' and is her 'strength,' 'life,' and 'backbone.'

David Beckham shows off his gardening skills, leaves wife Victoria in splits

Washington [US], June 22 (ANI): David Beckham gave fans an adorable glimpse into his life at home with wife Victoria Beckham over the weekend. The former football star, 50, shared a funny and sweet video on Instagram from their garden at their Cotswolds home in England. In the video, David can be seen digging through a wooden garden box with excitement. "I've been waiting for a while for this," he said, before announcing proudly, "A carrot." Victoria, 51, responded from behind the camera, "OK, let's see it." David then pulled the carrot from the soil -- only to reveal a short, oddly shaped one that had split into two ends. That's when the couple burst out laughing. "That's so disappointing," joked Victoria. Along with the fun video, Beckham added a caption that read, "Exciting day today in my veggie garden, CARROTS but not exactly what I expected but to be fair it had Lady Beckham laughing @victoriabeckham sorry about my carrot ." Victoria also shared other clips on her Instagram page, showing David's harvest of onions, beans, zucchini (or courgettes, as they say in the UK), and more. She later posted a photo of David proudly standing in front of his garden at sunset. David has been spending more time gardening and also keeping bees at home. In April, he shared a similar funny video of himself picking radishes, again with Victoria joking behind the camera. The two often share such glimpses of their life together, making fans smile with their fun chemistry. (ANI)
