Udaariyaan co-stars Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, both former contestants of Bigg Boss 16, have stepped up to support Abhishek Kumar in the ongoing Bigg Boss 17 controversy. Having gained popularity for their on-screen chemistry in Udaariyaan, Ankit and Priyanka played a pivotal role in paving the way for their Udaariyaan co-actors, Isha Malviya and Abhishek Kumar, to enter Bigg Boss 17.

However, the atmosphere within the Bigg Boss house has turned contentious due to the past relationship and breakup between Abhishek and Isha. Recent episodes have showcased Isha, along with her current boyfriend Samarth Jurel, making derogatory comments about Abhishek's past trauma and mental health issues that surfaced after the breakup. Furthermore, there are instances of Isha ridiculing Abhishek's claustrophobia, claiming it to be nonexistent.

Contrary to Isha's claims, videos from Abhishek and Isha's vlogs have emerged, confirming Abhishek's claustrophobia, and indicating that Isha is aware of this fact. Ankit Gupta, known for his straightforward attitude, took to Instagram to call out Isha as a liar and express his support for Abhishek. Priyanka Chahar Choudhary indirectly confronted Samarth and Isha, warning that excessive provocation may lead to consequences.

The involvement of well-regarded personalities like Ankit and Priyanka in supporting Abhishek also adds lot of credibility to Abhishek’s claims. In addition to Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, several other prominent celebrities have joined the chorus in supporting Abhishek Kumar amid the Bigg Boss 17 controversy. Renowned actor Ritesh Deshmukh, reality TV personality Prince Narula, and veteran host Kamla Punjabi have all been vocal in standing by Abhishek during these challenging times.

The widespread backing from these influential figures in the entertainment industry adds substantial weight to Abhishek's side of the narrative. Their public expressions of support indicate a growing concern within the industry about the treatment Abhishek is facing in the Bigg Boss house, particularly in light of the insensitive remarks made about his mental health and past trauma.

As the momentum of celebrity support builds, it raises anticipation about whether the show's makers, including Salman Khan during the "Weekend Ka Vaar" episode, will address the situation and take a stance against the perceived mistreatment of Abhishek. The involvement of multiple celebrities amplifies the significance of this controversy and brings attention to the broader issue of mental health awareness within the reality TV landscape.
