Talking about the fight, Samarth’s father said, “I feel both Samarth and Abhishek were wrong in that situation, don’t know why both of them got hyper. Abhishek was more worked up and his hand touched Samarth, but it’s okay.”

When asked if the provocation from Samarth was justified, Mukesh said, “What Samarth did with Abhishek, I will not call that poking or provocation, it was a fight that escalated. It could happen to us also if there was a fight at home.” Further, he also shared his opinion on whether giving Abhishek a second chance and bringing him back on Bigg Boss 17 was fair. “Bringing Abhishek back was Bigg Boss’ decision and I think it is okay,” he said.

I am not the kind of a parent who would praise my son; if he is wrong, I say as much.”
