Controversies:
Ashmit was in news when

followed later turns into a heater conversation. Riya Sen and Ashmit Patel were
dating each other for a longtime but the matter became worse when Ashmit found
that Riya was cheating on him. Later, it is said that Ashmit might have
released the video of their private moment on the web to take revenge from the
actress starting this Riya Sen-Ashmit Patel MMS Scandal that shot the actress
