Bigg Boss 17 Runner Up Abhishek Kumar On Isha Malviya: "Want To Keep Distance"

"I don't want to keep any terms with her. She is a good girl but I am not," said Abhishek

Bigg Boss 17 runner-up Abhishek Kumar, who often stayed in headlines for his complicated relationship dynamic with his co-contestant Isha Malviya, in recent interview with India Today, was asked about his break up and whether he found closure with her. Abhishek Kumar replied, "I don't want to keep any terms with her. She is a good girl but I am not. I think I want to keep that distance from her and let my emotions for her pass. I don't want to fall in love with her again." When asked if he wants to become a "better boyfriend," the actor replied, "That is quite tough, as I am quite possessive. Even when we were not dating, I was getting worked up about her. This is the reason I don't want to be in a relationship, as I don't want to bother another person. I want to be cautious about not hurting anyone."

Abhishek Kumar also talked about Isha's boyfriend Samarth Jurel, who was also a part of the TV reality show. "I never imagined I could experience something like this in my life. For a moment, it felt unreal. That was the moment I really broke down. As for the highlight, I think when Salman sir got me back in the house calling it a hero wali entry it made me feel joyous," said Abhishek.
