Mumbai, December 13, 2025 – A star-studded celebration followed the grand finale of Bigg Boss 19, and among the many attendees, actor Abhishek Bajaj was spotted in a jovial mood, sharing a moment with show host Salman Khan. The picture, which has since gone viral, captures Bajaj and Khan in a seemingly candid pose, sparking considerable buzz among fans and media outlets alike.

Abhishek Bajaj, known for his roles in Student of the Year 2 and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, was a contestant on the recently concluded season of Bigg Boss. His journey in the house was marked by both camaraderie and conflict. He developed strong bonds with fellow contestants Ashnoor Kaur, Pranit More, and Mridul Tiwari, often seen supporting them throughout the show. However, he also had notable rivalries, particularly with Kunickaa Sadanand and Amaal Mallik.

During his time on Bigg Boss 19, Bajaj faced scrutiny for his behavior during a heated argument with Amaal Mallik, which led to a public reprimand from Salman Khan himself. Khan had expressed his displeasure at Bajaj's "violent behaviour" and confronted him about losing his temper. Bajaj's actions were a point of contention, with Khan suggesting that Bajaj should be "bajaoed" for his actions.

Adding to the drama, Khan had also alluded to Bajaj's personal life during one of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, referencing an interview given by Bajaj's ex-wife, Akanksha Jindal. Jindal had made allegations of infidelity and controlling behavior against Bajaj, which he refuted through a note shared on social media prior to entering the Bigg Boss house.

Bajaj's gameplay was often described as strategic. Salman Khan even pointed out that Bajaj was playing a smart game by befriending Ashnoor Kaur and then sidelining her. Despite the controversies, Bajaj managed to establish himself as a strong contender. However, his journey on Bigg Boss 19 came to an end after Pranit More chose to save Ashnoor Kaur during an eviction, leading to Bajaj's elimination along with Neelam Giri.

The Bigg Boss 19 finale, which aired on December 7, 2025, saw Gaurav Khanna emerge as the winner, with Farhana Bhat as the runner-up. Salman Khan hosted the show for the sixteenth consecutive season.

The photo of Bajaj and Khan at the after-party suggests that any previous tensions may have eased. It remains to be seen what opportunities will arise for Bajaj following his stint on Bigg Boss. Reports have suggested that he may be participating in the upcoming season of Khatron Ke Khiladi.
