The 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode on Sunday came as a shock to fans of 'Bigg Boss' as contestant Pranit More made a sudden exit from the reality TV show due to deteriorating health after being diagnosed with dengue.

During the episode, host Salman Khan spoke to the housemates and revealed that Pranit had to leave the show on medical grounds. Sharing the news, Salman said that the doctors had just informed the makers about Pranit's condition and his "medical reports."

He told the contestant, "It has just come to our attention. The doctor has given us your medical reports. Unfortunately, for medical attention, you will have to step out of the house. You are not eliminated, but the care and attention you need cannot be provided inside this house."

Soon after the episode aired, Pranit's team shared an update about his health on social media to clear any doubts and worries about his condition. In the post, they informed fans that he was recovering well and thanked everyone for their "love, support, and prayers."

"Hey guys, just wanted to update you all: Pranit is doing well. We're in constant touch with the Bigg Boss team, and they're keeping us informed about his recovery. Thank you so much for all the love, support, and prayers you've been sending his way. Please continue to pray for his speedy recovery. Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra," wrote the team.

Pranit's unexpected exit has left fans upset, as he was one of the most loved contestants this season. According to reports, he is currently hospitalised and receiving treatment for dengue.
