Who Holds the Bigger Fortune in Battleground — Shikhar Dhawan or Abhishek Malhan?
The first season of the fitness-focused web reality show Battleground concluded in style on May 10, with cricket icon Shikhar Dhawan serving as the super mentor. Alongside him, celebrity leaders such as Abhishek Malhan, Rubina Dilaik, Rajat Dalal, and professional boxer Neeraj Goyat (who stepped in for Asim Riaz mid-season) guided their teams through an intense mix of mental and physical challenges.
What made Battleground stand out was its unique format — combining extreme fitness trials with tactical mentorship, all wrapped in celebrity appeal.
Among the mentors, Abhishek Malhan, better known as Fukra Insaan, became a breakout star. Leading the Delhi Dominators with strategy, confidence, and empathy, he won both audience appreciation and team loyalty. His players, Rounak Gulia and Nisha Mishra, delivered stellar performances and ultimately shared the title in an electrifying finale.
Celebrating the dual victory, Abhishek posted on Instagram: “Congratulations to these 2 super Girls @rounak_wrestler and @nisha_optimist, who made sure Delhi Dominators actually dominated Battleground Season 1. This time, two trophies at once. Let’s go Panda Gang!”
Off the field, Abhishek is also making waves financially. As per Jagran India, he ranks just behind Shikhar Dhawan in net worth among the mentors, with an estimated fortune of ₹98 crore. The YouTuber’s rapid rise — from Bigg Boss OTT 2 runner-up to a hit on Temptation Island India — has cemented his place as one of the most bankable digital-to-mainstream crossovers.
With its blend of fitness, fame, and fierce competition, Battleground Season 1 struck a chord with audiences nationwide. Buzz is already building for a larger, tougher Season 2, promising fresh faces and even bigger challenges.
