A fame digger doesn’t love you they love your name, your image, and what standing beside you makes them look like.

They call it love, but it was always a career move.
A name takes years of pain to build,
you don’t get to borrow it and pretend you built it.

He concluded the note by stating, "A name takes years of pain to build, you don't get to borrow it and pretend you built it."

The Asim Riaz-Himanshi Khurana controversy resurfaced after Himanshi spoke about their past relationship in Paras Chhabra’s podcast. While she did not name Asim directly, she discussed the religious differences that eventually contributed to their 2023 breakup. Himanshi clarified that she would not call it “conversion”, but said her former partner would explain the “good things” about his religion and wanted her to understand and accept it. She said, “They wanted me to understand it and accept it, but it was not acceptable to me,” adding, “Aisa feel hua ki main apne Bhagwan ko dhokha de rahi hoon.” She also opened up about her health struggles after Bigg Boss, claiming she battled “thyroid, depression, anxiety, hypertension,” along with nosebleeds, acne and smell from hair, and said she eventually realised she was in an unhealthy relationship after being hospitalised.

Not once," and accused her of using religion to turn people against him. He added, "So why did you msg me after 3 months in March and wanted to get back to this relationship," claiming that he had screenshots of their messages.
