In the latest twist on the drama-packed reality show Bigg Boss 17, Abhishek Kumar faced eviction as captain Ankita Lokhande took charge of his fate. The ongoing season, hosted by Salman Khan, witnessed Abhishek Kumar’s elimination from the Bigg Boss house, a development anticipated following an intense altercation where Abhishek slapped Samarth Jurel during a heated exchange involving Isha Malviya.
Reports indicate that Ankita Lokhande, as the captain, played a pivotal role in Abhishek’s eviction, as directed by Bigg Boss. The clash erupted when both Isha and Samarth mocked Abhishek over his mental health, leading to a confrontational situation. Viewers reacted strongly to this decision, expressing sentiments of unfairness and questioning the authority granted to Ankita Lokhande.
Social media platforms were abuzz with comments, with fans criticizing the eviction as unjust. Some questioned the legitimacy of giving Ankita Lokhande, whom they considered biased, the power to decide Abhishek’s fate. Concerns were raised about the lack of value in viewer voting and the apparent influence of captainship in determining eliminations.
Criticism was also directed towards the show’s makers for allegedly promoting bullying behavior by contestants such as Samarth, Vicky, Isha, Mannara, and Ankita. Fans expressed disappointment in the perceived lack of support for Abhishek Kumar, citing a failure to take a stand against bullying on the show.
The controversy ignited after Samarth Jurel inserted a tissue into Abhishek Kumar’s mouth and made jokes about his mental health during a confrontation with Isha Malviya. In response to constant provocation, Abhishek resorted to hitting Samarth. The incident, a breach of Bigg Boss rules against violence, prompted Ankita Lokhande’s decision to evict Abhishek.
As the audience awaits further developments, uncertainty lingers regarding the permanence of Abhishek’s exit from the show and whether the fan-favorite contestant will make a comeback.
