Not a fan of Abhishek but as per the situation,
If I was Abhishek, I would beat the bush out of Samarth and leave the show proudly.
Abhishek SHOULD have given that Samarth guy another slap on the other side of his face.
Abhishek SHOULD NOT have said sorry to anyone especially not to Samarth.
He did nothing wrong to be saying sorry. Samarth deserved more than a slap. Even I was getting irritated by him while I was only watching it.
Abhishek's action was a reflex.
