MUMBAI: Bigg Boss OTT 2 emerged as one of the most triumphant reality shows on the digital platform, captivating audiences with its high-voltage drama and engaging content. Among the many memorable contestants, Abhishek Malhan, popularly known as Fukra Insaan, garnered significant attention.
Emerging as the first runner-up, Abhishek quickly became a fan favourite, with his massive social media following playing a pivotal role in boosting his popularity.
However, one particular moment during the show stirred quite a storm. In an episode that became the talk of the town, Abhishek boldly claimed that he was responsible for bringing in nearly half the viewership of the season.

Citing his enormous online following, he implied that his presence alone contributed greatly to the show's success. This assertion didn’t sit well with fellow housemates, and more notably, with the host of the show, Salman Khan.
The incident was brought up during one of the much-anticipated Weekend Ka Vaar episodes. Salman, never one to shy away from calling out contestants, confronted Abhishek about his remark.
The superstar host questioned the credibility of the statement and made it clear that success on a platform like Bigg Boss is never defined by social media numbers alone.
Salman candidly told Abhishek that he himself had never flaunted his follower count, emphasising that real influence is earned through one's actions and character, not just online popularity.
While Abhishek maintained that his comment was made in a light-hearted and casual manner, Salman countered that it had come across with a hint of arrogance, a trait he warned could hinder rather than help his journey ahead.
This wasn’t the only occasion Abhishek faced tough love from Salman. On multiple instances, the young YouTuber was pulled up for his conduct, but each interaction served as a stepping stone for personal growth. Salman’s feedback, though stern, was widely seen as constructive criticism that ultimately helped shape Abhishek’s path on the show.
Despite the controversy, there is no denying Abhishek Malhan's impact on Bigg Boss OTT 2. His journey was filled with ups and downs, but his presence undeniably left a lasting impression on both the viewers and the housemates alike.
