Bigg Boss 17: Salman Khan bashes Samarth Jurel for 'provoking' Abhishek Kumar; questions other housemates

Having entered the final month of this season, Bigg Boss 17 is just getting more and more dramatic as things inside the house get more heated up, especially after Abhishek Kumar got into a serious rift with Samarth Jurel and Isha Malviya. The incident which went way too far after Abhishek ended up slapping Samarth, left every housemate in shock. While Abhishek was later seen apologising to Samarth and Isha and even Bigg Boss, he was, however, eliminated as a punishment.

In a promo shared by the channel, Bigg Boss can be seen asking Captain Ankita Lokhande to decide Abhishek’s fate and this is when the former decides to evict him. Later, host-actor Salman Khan was also seen bashing out Samarth and Isha for intentionally provoking Abhishek and making comments on his mental health.

Salman Khan schools Samarth Jurel on Bigg Boss

As a promo plays, Bigg Boss can be seen giving Ankita Lokhande an option to decide the punishment for Abhishek after the slap incident. Despite his requests, the Pavitra Rishta actress chooses to evict him from the show.

Further, Salman can be also seen bashing other housemates for not trying to stop Samarth.

“It was 100 per cent Abhishek’s mistake. However, it was someone else who provoked him to such an extent. Putting tissue in his mouth, covering him up with a blanket, and commenting on his father, and his mental health. Was this right?” Salman said while questioning the other housemates why no one tried to stop Samarth at that time.

He also asked Isha how she would have reacted if it was done to her. To this, the actress said, “I would have hit him.”

As the video concludes, Samarth can be seen confessing that he knew the trigger points of Abhishek and used it against him, leaving Salman even more upset with him.

In the meantime, while Abhishek’s eviction has created rage among his fans, many came out in his support including celebrities like Riteish Deshmukh and Elvish Yadav. Calling it a “very unfair” eviction, fans have largely criticised Isha and Samarth and also demanded Abhishek’s return to the show.
