Bigg Boss 17 Exclusive! Ankit Gupta calls Abhishek Kumar younger brother, couldn’t match vibes with Isha Malviya

Ankit Gupta has ended up calling Bigg Boss 17 Abhishek Kumar his younger brother. At the same time, he confirmed that the other contestant on Salman Khan’s show and Abhishek’s ex-girlfriend Isha Malviya did not match his vibes. He said that he couldn’t even get to the friendzone with her.

“I was cordial with Isha but her vibe never matched with mine. So, we never got to that friend zone with her,” Ankit shared. On the other hand, he called Abhishek ‘very friendly’ and described him as someone who would come around and talk to people. Ankit called Abhishek ‘fun to be around.’

The Udaariyaan actor went on to speak about the episodes he has caught up on. He gave his honest opinion of Abhishek by seeing them. Ankit confirmed that Abhishek is actually over emotional like he is shown on the TV show. “If he loves you, he will give his everything to you. Someone who loves you so much, they do get hurt by small things too. That’s what happens with him,” Ankit said. The actor saw Abhishek and Isha on sets. He knew the bond they shared and how it got tough for Abhishek to move on in life. He sided by his co-star and said that it did get tough for him to deal with the situation initially but he is doing much better now.

Ankit further stressed that Abhishek is a fast learner. He recalled how when he found a scene difficult, given Udaariyaan was his first TV show, Abhishek would not hesitate and approach the lead actors aka Ankit and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary for a scene and learn from them. They would help him deliver a dialogue and Abhishek would take the advice and improve his performance. “He has that zeal to learn from everybody,” Ankit shared.

Interestingly, Ankit and Priyanka were contestants on Bigg Boss 16. The two also entered the show together, much like Isha and Abhishek. PriyAnkit, however, entered as ‘friends’ while Isha and Abhishek were clearly exes. During their stay on the show, Bigg Boss introduced the world to Isha’s official boyfriend, Samarth Jurel. She initially refused to accept him as her boyfriend but did eventually come around and now, the two are inseparable.
