Abhishek Kumar's father pleads his son's case

Abhishek Kumar's father took to social media to issue a statement for his son. Abhishek Kumar's father said that everyone is on the show (Bigg Boss 17) to win, and they all poke and prod at each other, but Isha Malviya and Samarth Jurel provoking his son was not okay.

"The way Isha and Samarth have been provoking Abhishek, no one else has done it that way. They mocked his mental health issues and spoke about his father," he said, saying that this was "not right." Abhishek Kumar, who had slapped co-contestant Samarth Jurel on the show, was called 'emotional' by his father. He pleaded with Salman Khan to allow his son to make a re-entry to the show. He said, "Salman, you have a big heart. You have helped so many people; please forgive my son. Please let him inside Bigg Boss again.". In this way, Abhishek Kumar's father pleaded with Salman Khan for forgiveness on behalf of his son.
