Mumbai: Filmmaker Rohit Shetty confronted ‘Bigg Boss 20′ contestants ScoutOP and Love Gill over their physical closeness inside the house during the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
Stepping in as host in Salman Khan’s absence, Rohit questioned the duo over the blanket massage incident, drawing praise from several viewers on social media.
Salman Khan had announced his absence during the October 18 episode, citing prior professional commitments, and revealed that Rohit would take over hosting duties for the following episode.
A promo released by JioHotstar shows Rohit questioning ScoutOP and Lovepreet Kaur Gill about their interactions inside the house.
Addressing the instances of Scout massaging Love under a blanket, the filmmaker points out that their behaviour is creating an unfavourable impression on screen.
Rohit is heard asking the duo, “Love, Scout aapke liye kya hai?”
When Lovepreet says she considers Scout her brother, Rohit challenges her explanation, saying, “Jab voh pair daba raha hai, haath daba raha hai, neck daba raha hai. Love, voh theek nahi lag raha hai. Aap Scout ko bolte ho peeche se daba de, voh aapke calves daba raha hai. It is not looking good at all.”
Scout defends his actions by pointing out that he also massages fellow contestant Mahhi Vij when she asks him to.
Rohit, however, reprimands him, reiterating that his interactions with Lovepreet are not coming across well on screen.
Following the promo’s release, several viewers took to social media to support Rohit’s stance and criticise the contestants’ behaviour.
One user commented, “Ab ayega maja Rohit sir Rock love Asif scout very shock very good.”
Another wrote, “Scout and love it’s done.”
A third user commented, “Finally, their cheap tactics are exposed! Thank you, Rohit Shetty sir!”

Meanwhile, reports suggest that ScoutOP’s girlfriend, Kaashvi Hiranandani, may appear on an upcoming ‘Bigg Boss 20’ Weekend Ka Vaar episode to address his growing closeness with Love Gill, despite his relationship with Kaashvi outside the house.
