Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel's argument

It all happened in an earlier episode where Isha and Samarth were seen teasing Abhishek. Isha called Abhishek ‘mental bhopu’ and he said, "Tere pyaar mein he mental tha main. Tune mujhe mental karke chod diya (I was crazy in love with you. You gave me mental issues)." Then, Isha said that everyone saw Abhishek pretending to be claustrophobic the other day and told him to break the TV if he was so angry. He was trying to speak, when Samarth put a paper into his mouth. Abhishek threw the paper away and turned around to smack Samarth across the face.
