Abhishek went to Sanjeewan Vidyalaya in Panchgani and has a graduate degree in International Business from the Maharashtra Institute of Technology’s School of Management, Pune. Abhishek had spent much of his time switching between TV channels and wondering what to do with his life; he then felt immensely inspired by John Abraham and decided to start carving out muscles in his body instead of the fat. Abhishek made a few appearances in commercial TV advertisements before finally getting his break in Splitsvilla 8.

The show was his debut into the world of glitz and glamor. He faced elimination from the show after Splitsvilla Queen Subuhi Joshi dumped him. He calls his experience at Splitsvilla 8 to be a cocktail of politics, love, and betrayal. He enjoyed his initial days on the show when all the contestants were friendly with each other, but eventually as time passed, he felt that the pretense began to slip away. Abhishek realized that he was not the type of person who could manipulate human relationships and this was when he began to falter. He is thankful to Splitsvilla for giving him the fame.

He is obsessed with fitness and refrains from smoking and drinking. He is called Abhi with love and has been nicknamed as Pune’s “Dwayne The Rock Johnson”. He returned to Pune after his stint on TV, currently resides there and works as a freelancer, model, and actor. Despite all that, he wishes to establish himself in a more practical and secure for his future. He feels disillusioned by politics.
