Abhishek Kumar Reveals Why He Lost A Film After Bigg Boss 17: 'Mujhe Bura Laga Tha'
Last Updated:
Abhishek Kumar also admitted that he was left heartbroken after he lost the movie.
Abhishek Kumar has opened up about losing a project after his successful stint in Bigg Boss 17. In a recent interview, the actor, who is also known for shows like Udaariyaan, revealed that he had signed a film after his participation in Salman Khan's controversial reality show. Abhishek shared that he had also received his cheque and the script. However, he had to back out of the project due to the availability of his dates to shoot.
'Maine kisi ko nahi bataya. Main Bigg Boss ke nikalte hi maine ek film sign kar li thi, workshop bhi ho gayi thi, mera cheque amount bhi aa gaya tha, mera script bhi aa gayi thi, mere pass acting teacher bhi aate the muje sikhane. Mai zyada nahi bataunga. Acha production tha, achi cast thi. Sab acha tha. (I haven't told this to anyone. I had signed a film right after Bigg Boss. Workshops happened, my cheque amount also came, my script had come, the acting teacher came to teach me. I won't say much. The production and cast were good. Everything was nice)," Abhishek told Pinkvilla.
Sharing what went wrong at that time, the actor added, 'Jaha humara shoot tha vaha ki dates mil nahi rahi toh vaha ki dates aage badh gayi. Aur voh dates meri Khatron ke sath clash ho gayi. Khatron mai chhod nahi sakta tha. (Where the shoot was happening, they weren't getting dates. So those dates were clashing with my Khatron Ke Khiladi dates. I couldn't leave Khatron)."
Abhishek admitted that he was left heartbroken after the incident. 'Yeh ek project tha jiske liye muje bura laga tha. But fir maine aisa socha ki koi agar mere baare mei itna bhi sochta hai ki 'Isse Bollywood cast kar sakte hai' voh bhi mere liye bohot badi baat hai (This is that one project due to which I felt bad. But then I thought that someone is thinking about casting me in a Bollywood film, which is big for me)," he said.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Kumar is currently seen in Laughter Chefs Season 2. In the show, he is paired with Samarth Jurel. Hosted by Bharti Singh, it airs on Colors TV.

Meet actress who faced poverty, worked for Rs 50, ate food from dustbins, today leads lavish life, owns a house in Dubai, her name is...
In a world where social media noise fades fast, some voices cut through the clutter—louder, sharper, impossible to ignore. One such voice is Rakhi Sawant. You may roll your eyes, laugh, or even cringe—but you're still watching. And behind all the drama is a journey far more raw, real, and ruthless than what you see on your feed. You won't believe it, but the woman dominating every headline today once worked as a waitress at weddings, for just Rs 50 a day. Rakhi's early life was defined by crushing poverty. She's openly admitted to going hungry for days, and worse—eating leftover food picked from garbage bins just to survive. But this wasn't just about staying alive. It was the making of someone unbreakable. There was shame, too. After dancing at a local dandiya night, her own mother chopped off her long hair as punishment, meant to humiliate her. Instead, it only hardened her resolve. In the film world, she was typecast and rejected repeatedly. From background dancer to blink-and-miss roles, she clawed her way into the spotlight with songs like Pardesiya and a cameo in Main Hoon Na. When Bollywood stopped calling, she rebranded herself for reality TV—and the audience couldn't look away. Bigg Boss changed everything. Rakhi, raw and real, became a phenomenon. The tears, the fights, the one-liners—everything went viral. And suddenly, she wasn't just another starlet. She was entertainment itself. Today, Rakhi is worth over Rs 41 crore. She owns a home in Dubai. And she did it all without a godfather, mentor, or sugar-coated PR campaign—just grit, guts, and her unfiltered self. Rakhi Sawant is not just a name anymore. She's a reminder that chaos, when owned loudly enough, can become currency.
