Laughter Chefs 2's Abhishek Kumar reveals he lost a Bollywood film offer due to Khatron Ke Khiladi 14; says 'muje bura laga tha, but...'
Abhishek Kumar has opened up about losing a project following his great stint on Bigg Boss 17. In a recent interview, the actor, who is also known for shows such as Udaariyaan, said that he has signed a film following his appearance on
Salman Khan
's controversial reality series.
Abhishek stated that he had also received his cheque and script. However, due to scheduling conflicts, he was unable to participate in the project.
While talking to Pinkvilla, Abhishek revealed, "Main kisi ko nahi bataya. Main Bigg Boss se nikalte hi maine ek film sign karli 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, acchi casting thi. Sab accha tha. (I have not mentioned this to anyone. I had signed a film shortly after Bigg Boss.
Workshops took place, my money arrived, my script arrived, and the acting teacher came to train me. I will not say much. The production and cast were satisfactory. Everything was nice.)"
The actor explained what went wrong at the time, saying, "Jaha humara shoot tha vaha ki dates mil nahi rahi toh vaha ki dates aage badh gayi.
Aur voh dates meri Khatron ka sath clash ho gayi. Khatron mai chhod nahi sakti tha." (Where the shoot was taking place, they were not receiving dates. So those dates clashed with my Khatron Ke Khiladi schedule. I couldn't leave Khatron.)
Abhishek stated that the incident had left him heartbroken. "Yeh, ek project jiske liye muje bura laga tha. But fir maine aisa socha ki koi agar mere baare mein itna bhi sochta hai ki 'Isse Bollywood cast kar sakte hai' voh bhi mere liye bohot badi baat hai (This is the project that made me feel bad. But then I realised that someone was considering casting me in a Bollywood film, which is significant for me)," he remarked.
However, Abhishek had once shared in Bharti's vlog that he wanted to work with
Rohit Shetty
, in the director's Singham trilogy.

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.
