Samarth Jurel shared whether he has forgiven Abhishek Kumar for the slap incident inside the Bigg Boss house. He also discussed the lack of support in his relationship with Isha Malviya from her father.
just two weeks prior to the grand finale, actor Samarth Jurel faced elimination from Bigg Boss 17. As the wildcard entry and the boyfriend of Isha Malviya, he had to exit the game due to receiving the fewest audience votes. The viewers preferred him over Ayesha Khan, Arun Mahashetty, Abhishek Kumar, and Munawar Faruqui.
Shortly after being evicted, Samarth Jurel engages in an exclusive conversation with DNA India. In the previous week, Samarth received a slap from Abhishek due to his continuous teasing, particularly mocking Abhishek’s mental health. While Samarth acknowledges that his actions may have altered the audience’s perception, he remains unapologetic, stating, “What I did was wrong, but there was a reason behind it. He’s Isha’s ex, so I naturally disliked him. Moreover, he made derogatory comments about Isha and me. All of that was on my mind. People don’t forget things that happened weeks ago. How can I forget?”

After Abhishek slapped Samarth, he was voted out for breaking the crucial rule of physical violence. However, Salman Khan called him back, labeling Samarth as the ‘villain’. Discussing the host, Samarth remarks, “Initially, many housemates didn’t want Abhishek to return. However, after Salman sir shared his feedback, some people’s perception towards him changed. My question is, when Salman asked for the vote on ‘How many housemates want him back?’ Both Isha and I didn’t want him back, so we voted against it. However, our vote was dismissed with the comment, ‘It’s personal for you.’ If that’s the case, why ask for our opinion? I’m upset about him being brought back, but it’s okay; I respect their decision.”
Even though Isha’s father disapproves of their relationship, Samarth is determined to continue his relationship with Isha and is committed to working on resolving issues. When discussing potential winners, Samarth expresses a wish for either Isha or Ankita Lokhande to emerge as the victor of the show.
