Moreover, the makers' decision to reinstate Abhishek Kumar into the 'Bigg Boss 17' house triggered diverse reactions among the audience on social media. While some praised Khan for rectifying what they saw as an unfair eviction, others criticized the move, fearing that it might encourage a repeat of similar behaviour by him towards other contestants in the future.
