After Khanzaadi spoke about her mental issue on the show, recently, Abhishek Kumar also spoke about it, only to be poked by Isha Malviya and Samarth Jurel. Outside the show, besides the common man, there are many celebs who have now come in full support of Abhishek Kumar. The latest celeb to join the ‘support Abhishek Kumar’ movement is Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, who happens to be an ex-contestant of the show.
