On Saturday, Bigg Boss 17 house saw a major twist as Isha Malviya’s boyfriend Samarth Jurel entered the show. As readers already know, Isha’s former boyfriend Abhishek Kumar is already part of the season, and the two continue to share a love-hate relationship. With Samarth’s entry, the dynamics between them have changed and Abhishek was even seen breaking down as he came face to face with Samarth.
Before entering the Salman Khan-hosted show, the Udaariyaan actor spoke to indianexpress.com and shared that he and Isha have been in a relationship for a year. When asked about what’s happening inside the house between Abhishek and Isha, he exclaimed, “Abhishek is battamiz and bewakuf (ill-mannered and stupid). As for Isha, she is being childish. I don’t know what they are up to, but I know how to handle the situation.”

In the recent episodes, audiences have seen Abhishek Kumar getting possessive about Isha Malviya. He had also twisted her hands when she was getting friendly with Munawar Faruqui. To this, Samarth Jurel said that his girlfriend’s ex-lover is an “uncouth” man. “Just because he has a physique doesn’t make him a man. He has no respect for women. He is foul-mouthed and behaves in an uncivilised manner. Now that I am here, let’s see how much he can do. I know how to handle him as well as Isha.”
The actor agreed that his presence would ‘complicate’ things in the house but he assured that it would also bring a lot of entertainment for the audience. Addressing last week’s incident where Salman Khan had proved Isha as a ‘liar’ in Abhishek’s matter, Samarth said that she is innocent and childish, and doesn’t know how to handle situations. “I know she looked like a villain but it was just a stupid mistake on her part,” he added. He also shared that Isha was honest about Abhishek being aggressive and violent towards her but doesn’t know why she sided with him once they entered the house.
Samarth Jurel, on a final note, shared how given no one is ‘playing a game’ till now, it would be an advantage for him in the show. He also shared that it’s the first time wild card contestants are entering so early in the show which could help him connect better with contestants.
Recently, there was a TV actors vs YouTubers fight on the show. When asked about the same, he shared that most actors today are also part of the YouTube community. He added that there was no divide or fight but it was the brainchild of Anurag Dhobhal to create a rift among the housemates.
