Bigg Boss 17: Jigna Vora Slams Samarth Jurel And Isha Malviya For Bullying Abhishek Kumar

Bigg Boss 17, hosted by Salman Khan has been arresting the attention of the masses. After Ankita Lokhande and her husband Vicky Jain’s ugly fights made the headlines, Abhishek Kumar slapping Samarth Jurel over a nasty verbal exchange shocked the masses and the contestants. Samarth and her partner Isha Malviya bullied Abhishek for his mental health issues which led to Abhishek getting physically violent with Samarth. Although Ankita evicted Abhishek for his misdemeanour, Samarth earlier indirectly admitted that he provoked Abhishek to hit him. Now, former Bigg Boss 17 contestant Jigna Vora has come out in support of Abhishek, slamming Samarth and Isha.

In an interaction with Times Of India, Jigna Vora revealed that she wished Abhishek Kumar lifted the trophy and won the show. Highlighting the importance of mental health she added that no one should go below their moral ethics at the behest of someone’s well-being just for the sake of winning. “Recently, I shared a story about him on Instagram, as what’s happening with him (Abhishek Kumar) on the show is unfair. Mental health is crucial, and one shouldn’t stoop so low for a trophy that it harms someone’s well-being. In my opinion, contestants shouldn’t jeopardize someone’s life for the sake of winning,” she said.

Jigna Vora continued that it was wrong of Isha Malviya to make fun of Abhishek Kumar’s claustrophobia. “That’s not right. He has told me multiple times that he is claustrophobic,” she said. Recounting her stay in the BB House, she shared the incident of being locked inside the bathroom. Underling the situation, the ex-Bigg Boss contestant revealed that at that time Abhishek confessed to feeling “uncomfortable in enclosed spaces”, stating that he would have fainted if he had been locked away in the bathroom.

Jigna Vora further added that during the initial days of Bigg Boss 17, Samarth Jurel and Abhishek Kumar had a “strong friendship”. “They used to tease Isha together. It was quite shocking for me to see Samarth behaving this way. I never expected Samarth, who is usually a funny person, to poke Abhishek to such an extent,” she said.

Abhishek Kumar got into a heated argument with Samarth Jurel and Isha Malviya, which led to Samarth and Isha passing derogatory comments on Abhishek about his mental health. In a fit of fury, Samarth put a tissue paper into Abhishek’s mouth after which he slapped Samarth right across his face. Later on, Abhishek however apologised for his behaviour.
