Abhishek Kumar was evicted by Ankita Lokhande on Bigg Boss 17 for his recent actions against Samarth Jurel. Soon after this, Abhishek Kumar's father took to social media to issue a statement for his son.

“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 Salman Khan for forgiveness on behalf of his son.

Previously on the episode, Vicky Jain picked a fight with Ankita Lokhande. The actress was seen accusing Vicky Jain  of being jealous that she had obtained the captaincy instead of him. It all began when Ankita asked her husband, Vicky, to finish his house duties. The latter responded in a rude manner to Ankita, which irked her; she said, "Aap [Vicky Jain] aur Abhishek [Kumar] garden (kardijiye). [You and Abhishek Kumar should clean the garden area." Responding to Ankita, Vicky said, "Jab rahega hum karlenge. [We will do it when we have to]. Objecting to the rude manner with which he said those words, Ankita said, "Captain ki izzat kijiye aap [You must respect the captain]." After which, Vicky Jain said, "Captain ki izzat captain ke bartav par hogi. [We will respect the captain, as per the captain's behaviour."]
