From Rubina and Asim’s Explosive Spat to Lovkesh Kataria’s Shocking Mentor Takeover, Drama Unfolds in Amazon MX Player’s Battleground
MUMBAI, India–April 14, 2025: A week gone by, a house full of chaos, and a Battleground that refuses to back down. This week on Battleground, streaming exclusively on Amazon MX Player — Amazon’s free video streaming service, the tension was unrelenting as alliances cracked, rivalries intensified, and emotions spilled over. With Shikhar Dhawan as the Supermentor and team leaders Asim Riaz, Rajat Dalal, Rubina Dilaik, and Abhishek Malhan in charge, the heat inside the Battleground House has reached an all-time high! Over the past week, the competition intensified like never before, and fans were served a potent mix of drama, determination, and the unexpected.
The week kicked off with Mehak’s emotional breakdown over feeling sidelined by Dev Karan, a small moment that snowballed into insecurity, doubt, and quiet confrontations. But there’s no time to process feelings when the competition is this fierce. As Shernis from across the country pushed limits in the Kill Zone, Raunak shocked everyone by refusing to support her team, putting herself first. The individual championship saw Ankul, Bhawish, Shiva, and Raja go head-to-head in an explosive face-off, with Ankul rising as the winner and Anjali winning on the women’s side. This sparked chaos when they used their advantage to steal credits, igniting a fierce clash between Ankul and Dev. Meanwhile, the audience saw a gentler, more romantic side to Raja, but the peace didn’t last long.
As if the drama wasn’t enough, the Fight Club Weekend brought a blockbuster twist. Lovkesh Kataria burst onto the scene claiming he was the new mentor of Delhi Dominators, only to reveal that Abhishek Malhan is temporarily out due to injury and will return soon. Then came the reckoning, the mentors watched the clip of Raunak and Aashika’s violent spat, which led to a high-voltage face-off, with Aashika claiming victory. The ring then lit up with fiery face-offs, Dev silenced critics by beating Bhavesh, Shiva toppled Raja, and Rathi called Dev the “saanp” of the game, causing serious fractures within the team. But the biggest showdown wasn’t in the ring! It was between mentors Asim and Rubina, clashing over Chandni’s lack of effort. Asim’s harsh critique and Rubina’s passionate defense of the player lit up the house, especially when Asim commented, “This is not a serial,” shaking the dynamics between mentors. And in a crushing end to the week, UP Dabangs’ Harsh, at the bottom of the leaderboard, became the first contestant to be eliminated.
As rivalries deepen, alliances shift, and mentors clash, one thing is clear, the storm has only just begun. Battleground is now streaming exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available on Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
