BB 17: Salman Calls Abhishek Fakest Contestant Ever; Netizens REACT, 'Acting Iski Pehle Din Se Chal Rahi Hai'

Bigg Boss 17 previously saw the makers remove Tehelka aka Sunny Arya for his violent behaviour and now host Salman Khan will be seen calling out Abhishek Kumar. This week we saw a lot of drama, as during the immunity task, exes Abhishek and Isha Malviya got into an ugly physical fight. The two went on to dig into the past and said things that were below the belt. Salman Khan was seen losing his cool at the Udaariyaan star.

Salman calls out Abhishek

The recent episode of Bigg Boss saw exes Isha and Abhishek get into an ugly fight during the immunity task. While the two took digs at one another and went on to reveal things from the past, it will be correct to say that they indeed crossed the line. The fight turned ugly with each passing second and later Isha was seen pushing Abhishek.

As per the latest promo, host Salman Khan was seen applauding Isha for handling the drama and at the same time, slamming Abhishek for his behaviour. While he called Abhishek the ‘FAKEST’ contestant, netizens had a mixed reaction to it.

Salman said that if we had to name the most nakli contestant of the season, it would be Abhishek Kumar. He shared that it was very wrong of Abhishek to talk about Isha's character.

Netizens REACT to Salman calling Abhishek fake

As soon as a glimpse of the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar was shared, the fans could not hold themselves back. There seemed to be a mixed bag of reactions. Some called Salman’s words towards Abhishek much needed, and some said, ‘He would forget the bashing as soon as the episode will end.’

Netizens recalled the first WKV when the Udaariyaan actor sat on the floor to show how he had been troubled. A user on X (formerly called Twitter) wrote, ‘Acting dekho iski gardan niche yeh pira sympathy lene ki koshish Kar raha hai. Acting iski pehle din se chal rahi hai jab sab upar baithe the or yeh zameen par baith Gaya tha wkv par.’

Another wrote, ‘Salman is right about Abhishek; he is the fakest. But Isha and Abhishek are both gutter mouths.’

The netizens stood divided over Salman’s words, as a few of them asked Abhishek to stay strong as he is not fake, and many claimed that he is being portrayed in the wrong light by the makers.
