Rohit Shetty on Love, Scout (Pics/Instagram, X)
Rohit Shetty is all set to host this Weekend Ka Vaar of Bigg Boss 20 as Salman Khan takes a break due to prior commitments. In a promo shared by the channel, the filmmaker is seen questioning Lovepreet Gill about her bond with ScoutOP, pointing out how their physical closeness could be perceived by outsiders. The conversation comes amid growing speculation about their equation.
In a promo shared by the channel on Instagram, Rohit stepped in for hosting duties as Salman Khan had prior commitments. The filmmaker asked Lovepreet about her bond with Scout. Lovepreet maintained that she considers Scout a brother, while Rohit said their interactions were "looking absolutely wrong" from an outsider's perspective.
"When he's massaging your legs, massaging your hands, massaging your neck. Love, that doesn't look right. You tell Scout to massage your back. He's massaging your calves. It's not looking good at all," Rohit said.
To this, Scout chimed in, "I do, Mahi di too." Rohit replied, "Scout! What you see outside, what you feel outside, that's what I'm telling you. It's looking absolutely wrong."
Meanwhile, ScoutOP's girlfriend, Kaashvi Hiranandani, is reportedly set to appear on an upcoming Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode. She is expected to address his growing closeness with Lovepreet Gill.
The controversy surrounding Love Gill and ScoutOP intensified after a clip showing their physical closeness circulated on social media. Kamya had earlier questioned the shift from their previously described brother-sister equation, asking whether their behaviour was harmless fun or crossing boundaries.
The discussion grew after ScoutOP reportedly admitted to fellow contestant Yung DSA that he had developed feelings for Love and felt possessive when he saw her interacting with Gullu. Scout, however, described his feelings as sibling-like. His real-life girlfriend, Kaashvi Hiranandani, also addressed the speculation, saying she wanted him to succeed and that she would not change her feelings because of a few clips or how situations appeared on screen.
The matter also came up during the latest Weekend Ka Vaar, when host Salman Khan reprimanded ScoutOP and Yung DSA over their behaviour and ScoutOP's body language around the actress. Salman indirectly asked Love whether she was comfortable with her sibling touching her in that manner. She said she was.
