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."

"I used to do something wrong every week and then I knew Salman sir would be scolding me," Abhishek said, recalling how afraid he used to feel during "Weekend ka vaar."
During his journey on the show, Abhishek said he he developed a close bond with the contestants. Surely, he is going to miss them all but his friendship with fellow contestant and stand up comedian Munawar Faruqui, always grabbed attention.
"I have a very real feeling for Munawar. Either he is crying or upset, everything used to affect me. I am very attached to him and he will always be my friend," he said.
