From TV Serials to Bollywood Films
Abhishek began his career in television with Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi (2011) and went on to appear in popular shows such as Silsila Pyaar Ka, Santoshi Maa, and Dil De Ke Dekho. His role as Rahul in Dil De Ke Dekho earned him recognition on the small screen.

Why He Chose Bigg Boss 19
Abhishek revealed that he had been approached for Bigg Boss multiple times in the past but only agreed to join in Season 19. He said he had already explored TV, films, ads, and music videos, and reality TV was the next challenge left to face.
He describes himself as fun-loving, courageous, disciplined, and resilient, while also admitting that his Punjabi temper sometimes makes him short-fused. Apart from acting, he enjoys writing poetry and rapping, talents he plans to showcase inside the house.
Clashes, Controversies, and Confrontations
Rivalries with Baseer Ali
Abhishek’s Bigg Boss journey has been packed with drama. In one captaincy task, he lost to Baseer Ali, sparking a rivalry that soon turned into heated arguments. A later task turned physical when both fought over a blackboard, with Baseer throwing it into the pool in anger.
The Farhana Bhatt Incident
