Bigg Boss season 17 might have ended a few months back, however, the participants of the show continue to grab the headlines with their antiques. Actress Isha Malviya’s boyfriend Samarth Jurel, who had entered the controversial reality show as a wild-card contestant, gained a lot of attention for his hot and cold relationship with his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend Abhishek Kumar. He was also often criticised for initiating intimate moments with the actress on the show. Now, he has come under the scanner again for allegedly posting a fake photo from the hospital.
On Monday morning, Samarth took to his Instagram handle to post a photo where he is seen sleeping on a hospital bed with an oxygen mask strapped to his face. This led to the netizens being concerned about his well-being. Soon after he shared a video of roaming on the streets in his car vibing to songs, he captioned the video, “I’m good guys (thumbs up emojis).” After that, he posted another video where he stated that he was grateful for his fans’ concern. He went on to explain how he had to jump out the window as there was a raid at the hotel and expressed that the glasses he was wearing saved his life.

Considering he posted the photo and videos on April Fool’s Day, enraged netizens lashed out at him for trying to gain publicity at the cost of his health. Many began to wonder if he pulled a fake stunt like Poonam Pandey, who had faked her death to raise awareness about cervical cancer. Celebrities and netizens had lashed out at the actress and her PR team for planning such a gut-wrenching campaign, as it mocked the feelings of people who have actually gone through the experience of losing a loved one because of cancer.
Take a look at the tweets here:
