As the first runner-up on 'Bigg Boss 17', actor Abhishek Kumar of 'Udaariyaan' concluded his adventure filled with captivating difficulties and charming connections. Despite not winning, he gained enormous fame and talked openly about his experience on the Salman Khan-starring reality program, referring to it as a life-changing event.
He remarked, "It was a great journey in many ways," in an interview with ANI. I conquered my greatest fear, developed self-control over my rage, and learnt to be wary of blind trust. Bigg Boss taught me a lot of new things."
In the news for many things, Abhishek's past relationship with Isha Malviya constantly remained a topic of discussion during his stint inside the Big Boss house. He stole the limelight with the slap incident in which Abhishek lifted his hand on Samarth Jurel, which was against Bigg Boss house rules. At that time, Bigg Boss stated that the choice will be made at an appropriate moment.
"I learned not to love someone that you destroy yourself," Abhishek said. It's critical to love who you are." Even though he did not win the competition, Abhishek expressed his satisfaction with the support he received from his followers. "My goal was to win the show," However, capturing the hearts of the people is more significant than taking home a trophy, and I succeeded in doing so."
