Samarth’s entry pained Abhishek

Samarth Jurel entered Bigg Boss 17 as Isha Malviya’s boyfriend. This was at a time when Abhishek was still not over his ex-girlfriend. Isha had refused to accept Samarth as her boyfriend on the show initially and once she did, Abhishek was left heartbroken. Soon after, Abhishek-Isha-Samarth got into fights. Samarth would also often fight with Abhishek on behalf of Isha, which led to bitterness between the two boys. They all worked together on Udaariyaan and initially, Samarth and Abhishek shared a good bond but that kept getting weaker, till the point where Samarth felt hurt on the show after the slap. However, all’s well that ends well and it looks like there indeed was a happy ending for this trio.
