Bigg Boss 17 is getting quite interesting with each passing episode, the last night's episode was quite fiery as the nomination procedure took over. Amidst the nomination process, Abhishek Kumar and Isha Malviya got into a massive fight while Samarth Jurel also entered the fight and started provoking Kumar.

After the episode, Abhishek Kumar has been getting a lot of support from fans, viewers, and celebrities. Many celebrities like Ritesh Deshmukh, Kamya Punjabi, Aishwarya Sharma, Neil Bhatt, and Ankit Gupta among others took a stand for Kumar, and now, his onscreen sister from the show Udaariyaan came out in the open and supported him.

In the previous episode, Abhishek felt claustrophobic inside the activity room followed by a massive fight with Isha Malviya and Samarth Jurel. He went breathless and requested Bigg Boss to open the door. However, Bigg Boss firmly announced everyone to stand in a straight line. Kumar's friend Munawar told him that he might get eliminated and thus Kumar composed himself and stood. This made Isha and Samarth mock Abhishek more as they tagged it all as a drama. Isha stated that Abhishek has been acting of being claustrophobic.

In a LIVE session, Chetna Singh who played Kumar's onscreen sister Simran in Udaariyaan revealed how Isha very well knows about Abhishek's claustrophobic condition and also that she has always been careful about the same when they were in a relationship. Chetna also mentioned that anyone who knows Abhishek Kumar is aware of his claustrophobic condition.

She further mentioned that India as a country is still lagging in terms of mental health awareness. If the same is mocked at this level on national television, it would certainly give across a wrong example among the masses about a sensitive issue of mental health.
