Actor Abhishek Kumar was ousted from Bigg Boss 17 for slapping fellow contestant Samarth Jurel during a scuffle in the latest episode of the Salman Khan-hosted reality show, airing daily on Colors TV and JioCinema.
Abhishek resorted to violence after relentless teasing from Isha Malviya and Samarth. During the altercation, Isha referred to Abhishek as a “crazy” person, prompting a war of words. The situation escalated when Samarth inserted a paper in Abhishek's mouth, which led to the latter delivering a tight slap in response.
Physical violence is against the rules of the Bigg Boss house. Bigg Boss gave house captain Ankita Lokhande the decisive power regarding Abhishek's fate in the house. Ankita said what Abhishek had done was unacceptable and he should leave the house. Despite Abhishek's pleas to stay in the game, Bigg Boss stuck to the house captain's decision.
As Abhishek prepared to exit the house, an emotional atmosphere enveloped the remaining contestants. Tears flowed as Mannara Chopra and Ayesha Khan bid farewell to the outgoing contestant.
