Bigg Boss 17 Day 84 Highlights: Salman Khan condemns Isha & Samarth’s constant poking; Abhishek returns to the house

Ankita, Munawar and Abhishek were in a conversation when Isha began poking Abhishek. He requested her not to do so with folded hands but soon Samarth Jurel jumped in. At one side, Ankita and Munawar discussed how Isha is poking Abhishek constantly and condemned it. Vicky chimed in to agree. When Abhishek said Isha has gone crazy, she started calling him mental again. Ankita tried to stop Isha but the latter didn't stop. Meanwhile Samarth went around telling everyone that he's scared. Later in a conversation, Munawar asked Abhishek to completely block Isha out of his life after he exits the reality show with zero contact.

Bigg Boss rounded up contestants and asked them what feedback they want on the weekend. As the captain, Bigg Boss then asked Ankita if Abhishek deserves to be punished. When she said yes, Bigg Boss asked what his punishment should be according to rules. Ankita stated that he should leave the house. Abhishek pleaded but he was evicted from the show. Before leaving Abhishek apologized to both Isha and Samarth. Abhishek also asked for one more chance but Samarth told him that he doesn't deserve another chance.

When Salman connected with the housemates, he lauded Ankita's decision. He went on to ask Vicky, Arun, Munawar how they would have reacted if they were poked as much as Abhishek. Salman then pointed out how Ankita condemned Isha's poking 10 minutes before taking the decision to evict Abhishek. He admitted that Abhishek was wrong, but declared that he was poked to another level. Salman also asked all the contestants why no one stopped Samarth when they knew Abhishek's trigger points. When asked Isha how she would have reacted if the same happened with her, she admitted she would have hit back physically. However Samarth said he would not have raised his hand in the BB house. But he admitted he was wrong.

In the end, Salman told housemates that they will now decide if Abhishek should return to the house or not. Ankita, Munawar, Ayesha and Aoora voted in Abhishek’s favour but Arun, Vicky, Isha, Samarth and Mannara said no. But Salman did not count Samarth and Isha’s votes because they had an agenda to not let Abhishek reach the finale because of personal grudges. The host also pointed out that Abhishek’s actions got the same reaction outside which a hero does when he hits a villain. Salman then said, “Bula lo usse. (Whistled) Abhishek, bahar aa jaao.” With that, Abhishek finally made his comeback. He once again apologized with folded hands but requested Isha and Samarth to maintain distance from him as he would do the same.

Salman later asked the rest of the housemates to go inside and spoke to Abhishek, Isha and Samarth individually. He inquired what Isha and Samarth would do if Abhishek was out because their game revolves around him. He also asked what Samarth would do if Isha was evicted. Meanwhile Vicky condemned Ankita’s vote to let Abhishek return. Outside, Salman slammed Isha for talking about someone she loved, her ex boyfriend’s mental health on national television. He also reminded Samarth how Isha refused to accept him as her boyfriend when he entered the show. Salman added that she could talk about Samarth the same way she talks about Abhishek if they ever broke up. He even called out Abhishek for assassinating Isha’s character before bidding them adieu.

In your opinion, did Abhishek deserve the second chance he got?
