The Bigg Boss 20 house saw fireworks during the recent ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode as host Salman Khan addressed the growing controversy surrounding contestants Love Gill and ScoutOP (Tanmay Singh). The superstar directly questioned Love Gill about her conduct, which many viewers and housemates had deemed excessively ‘touchy’ with ScoutOP, igniting a fresh wave of discussion inside and outside the house.
Salman Khan Addresses ScoutOP-Love Gill Controversy
During the intense confrontation, Salman Khan adopted his signature probing style, asking Love Gill about her family dynamics to draw a parallel to her in-house relationships. “Love, do you have a brother?” Salman inquired, to which Love responded, “Yes, sir, I have a younger brother.” When asked about his age, she confirmed, “He’s 17 years old.” Salman then pressed on, asking if physical touch was normal and comfortable between her and her brother. Love denied any awkwardness, stating, “It’s normal between us.”
Salman then used a physical demonstration, touching his own thigh and asking Love if touching her brother’s foot there would be acceptable, to which she agreed. “Okay, then it’s not a problem,” Salman concluded, before subtly pointing to another contestant, Amrapali, and adding, “You know what I’m talking about.” This subtle yet pointed remark underscored the underlying concerns about the perceived closeness between Love and ScoutOP that had led to widespread trolling and speculation on social media. Love Gill and ScoutOP have consistently maintained that they share a ‘brother-sister’ bond.
Salman Khan Indirectly Questions Love Gill and ScoutOP’s Bond
The controversy intensified after ScoutOP had previously expressed what he described as ‘confused feelings’ towards Love Gill in a conversation with Yung DSA. During this discussion, ScoutOP, who is in a committed relationship with YouTuber Kaashvi Hiranandani outside the house, admitted to feeling possessive when Love spent time with other contestants, particularly Gullu. When Yung DSA questioned if his ‘raasta’ (path) was changing, ScoutOP responded, “Pata nahi” (I don’t know). Kashvi Hiranandani later addressed the situation in a video, stating she was handling things privately and wished Scout well.
Beyond the ‘Bhai-Behen’ Bond
Salman Khan’s ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode didn’t stop at the ScoutOP-Love Gill dynamic. The host also took the opportunity to address other critical issues within the Bigg Boss 20 house. He strongly confronted ScoutOP about his behaviour towards an unwell Qazi Touqeer. Salman questioned why Scout stopped Love Gill from bringing food to Qazi and criticised the way Scout himself eventually served it, calling his behaviour “heartless” and remarking that “prisoners are treated with more kindness”. Qazi Touqeer broke down in tears during this emotional confrontation.
Furthermore, Salman also reprimanded Scout and Yung DSA over their behaviour towards Qazi Touqeer, emphasising the need for appropriate behaviour and mindful language among the contestants. These interventions highlight Salman Khan’s commitment to maintaining decorum and addressing behavioural issues that often escalate in the high-pressure environment of the Bigg Boss house. As the competition heats up, the dynamics between contestants continue to be a major talking point for viewers and critics alike.
