Isha Malviya is likely to reunite with her ex-boyfriends, Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel, soon. If a recent post by 'Gossips TV' is to be believed, the actress will be appearing on the grand finale episode of Laughter Chefs season 2, in which Abhishek and Samarth are the contestants. While there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now, if this comes out to be true, it will mark Abhishek, Isha and Samarth's first reunion after Bigg Boss 17. A Look At Isha Malviya's History With Abhishek Kumar, Samarth Jurel Abhishek Kumar and Isha Malviya worked together on the show Udaariyaan. The two met for the first time on the sets of the show and fell in love with each other. They started to date but had an ugly breakup soon. After Udaariyaan, Abhishek and Isha participated in Bigg Boss 17, when the former discovered that the latter had also been dating Samarth Jurel. Samarth, who was also seen in Udaariyaan previously, entered the Bigg Boss 17 house as a wild card contestant. Upon entering Salman Khan 's show, Samarth introduced himself as the 'current boyfriend" of Isha, which left Abhishek shocked and devastated. However, Samarth and Isha also broke up soon after Bigg Boss 17 ended, i.e. in April 2024. Confirming the same, Samarth told Pinkvilla, 'Yes, we are not together anymore. Break up hogaya hai (We have broken up)." 'I don't want to talk more about this. This is all I have to say," he added. The two also unfollowed each other on Instagram. Interestingly, Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel are good friends now. The two are also seen as a team in Laughter Chefs season 2. Recently, Abhishek also appeared on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa's podcast when he was asked if he has moved on from his former girlfriend, Isha. The actor nodded positively and said, 'Ji" – suggesting that he is no longer emotionally attached to Isha. However, when Bharti asked if he would go back to Isha if she returned in his life, Abhishek smiled. He then said, 'We cannot be together ever. I know how she thinks and what sort of person I am. We are very different people. It won't match ever."
