The Bigg Boss 19 season witnessed a complex interplay of friendships, strategies, and emotional decisions, and the bond between Pranit More and Abhishek Bajaj was a focal point. Their camaraderie was tested when Pranit had to make a difficult choice that ultimately led to Abhishek's eviction, causing a stir among fans and fellow contestants.
Pranit More, a stand-up comedian and RJ, entered the Bigg Boss 19 house and quickly became known for his humor and strategic gameplay. He formed a close-knit group with actors Gaurav Khanna, Abhishek Bajaj, Ashnoor Kaur, and content creator Mridul Tiwari, often showcasing their bond in Pranit's in-house segment, "The Pranit More Show". This show became a turning point for Pranit, increasing his visibility and endearing him to the audience.
However, the dynamics shifted during a "Weekend Ka Vaar" episode when Abhishek Bajaj and Neelam Giri faced a double eviction. Pranit was given the power to save one person from the bottom three, and he chose to save Ashnoor Kaur over Abhishek. This decision shocked many, especially since Pranit had always maintained that Abhishek was his first priority.
Abhishek, in post-eviction interviews, admitted that he was more disappointed by Pranit's choice than the eviction itself. He expressed that he and Ashnoor had a strong bond, and it hurt that their trio was broken. While acknowledging Pranit's strategic gameplay, Abhishek said, "Main rishte nibhata raha, aur woh game khel gaya" (I kept valuing relationships, and he played the game). He also referred to Pranit as a "player". Despite the hurt, Abhishek clarified that he didn't harbor bitterness towards Pranit, recognizing that it was a tough decision and part of the game. He acknowledged that Pranit might have seen him as a strong contender and made a strategic move to eliminate him.
The decision led to considerable discussion and disappointment among fans, with some even labeling Pranit as "two-faced". However, others recognized the difficult position Pranit was in and understood his choice as a strategic move within the game's context.
Following the show, Pranit addressed the strain on his friendship with Abhishek. He revealed that Abhishek was still upset about the eviction. In an exclusive conversation with India Forums, Pranit shared, "Dosti ki hai toh nibhaunga kyunki bahut kum log hai jinhe main apna dost manta hoon aur Bajaj ko main bahut achha dost maanta hoon, maanta tha aur maanta rahunga". (I will maintain the friendship because I consider very few people as my friends, and I consider Bajaj a very good friend, I did, and I always will). He also mentioned that they had spoken recently, and while Abhishek was still upset, Pranit was hopeful that their friendship would recover.
Pranit's journey on Bigg Boss 19 ended with him as the second runner-up. His mix of humor, strategic moves, and strong friendships made him a popular contestant. Even when facing criticism for tough choices, like evicting Abhishek, he took it in stride. The bond between Pranit More and Abhishek Bajaj serves as a reminder of the complexities of relationships within the high-pressure environment of Bigg Boss. While the game may have tested their friendship, Pranit's commitment to maintaining that bond highlights the importance of relationships beyond the show.
