A fresh promo of Bigg Boss 17, released by Colors TV, featuring host Salman Khan during the “Shukravaar Ka Vaar” episode, escalated into an intense moment as Salman addressed an incident involving Abhishek Kumar’s derogatory comment about fellow housemate Mannara Chopra. The promo begins with Salman playfully mentioning that Mannara has been moved from the “heart” house to the “mind” house and asks if she has a trigger point. Mannara responds by saying that people should avoid discussing her family and refrain from making comparisons. She emphasizes that she is on Bigg Boss to showcase her true personality and that there’s no need to delve into her life outside the house.

At this point, Abhishek interrupts, clarifying that he didn’t call Mannara a “duplicate” but merely mentioned the similarity in their appearances. Salman rebukes him, stating, “No, you did say ‘duplicate.'” Abhishek confesses that he made the comment intentionally to provoke Mannara. In response, Salman tells him, “You might call yourself my fan, but your actions clearly do not reflect my values.”
The root of the issue dates back to a heated argument between Abhishek Kumar and Mannara Chopra in the Bigg Boss house. During the confrontation, Abhishek referred to Mannara as a “duplicate Parineeti Chopra.” Mannara strongly objected to him bringing her family into the discussion, accusing him of seeking attention by mentioning her family’s names. Tensions escalated, and Abhishek’s warning of “see what happens next” prompted Mannara to throw a pillow at him.
This incident underscores the high-stress environment of the Bigg Boss house, where clashes and confrontations are commonplace. Salman Khan, as the host, often plays the role of a mediator and mentor, guiding contestants on appropriate behavior and conflict resolution.
