“How would you like it if someone used the same abusive language you used on your family? I am warning you, I will come here mid-week and throw you out, dragging you by the hair,” Salman said in Hindi, referring to Abhijit abusing contestant Pratik Sehajpal. 

When Abhijit interrupted to ask if he could speak, the actor replied, “If you speak, I will enter the house and beat you up.” The contestant responded by saying he wanted to leave the house, “To hell with your show.”

Abhijit entered the Bigg Boss 15 house as a wildcard. He is reportedly an Indian politician, a poet and a television actor. He had also participated in Bigg Boss Marathi season 2, where he got in the middle of a controversy when police barged into the sets and arrested him for a cheque bouncing case.

Meanwhile, Bollywood star Salman Khan has been hosting the Hindi version of the show for the past 11 years. This is not the first time he has berated a contestant. In the same promo, for instance, he can be seen reprimanding television actor Karan Kundra for not standing by his partner, Tejassvi Prakash, and always asking her to go and apologise to Umar Riaz.

The upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar will also include a segment with a panel including Geeta Kapur, Kashmera Shah, Divya Agarwal and Neha Bhasin grilling the contestants, leading to a brawl between contestant Shamita Shetty and Divya, and also Neha and Abhijit.

Divya, winner of Bigg Boss OTT, can be seen telling Shamita that if she did not change her attitude, she would not win the show even if she participated for four more seasons. “Tere permission ki zaroorat nahi hai (I don’t need your permission),” Shamita snapped in response.  

Meanwhile, there are reports that the ongoing season may get extended as COVID-19 cases in Mumbai surge. A source told The Indian Express, “The team feels it’s a safer bet to carry on an ongoing show than launch a new one. God forbid but if there’s a lockdown in town, the team would have to then fly out bag and baggage to shoot outdoors, incurring bigger expenses. Carrying on with Bigg Boss till the time things settle down seems logical and practical at the moment in terms of all logistics.”
