Why it matters
ScoutOP's four punishments change his game for the rest of the season: he cannot sit out a single eviction vote or win captaincy. For viewers who vote, it means his stay now depends entirely on them every week.
Salman Khan used Bigg Boss 20 Episode 70, the Weekend Ka Vaar aired on 14 November 2026, to question ScoutOP over pushing fellow contestant Yung DSA during a captaincy task. He also told Kanika Mann not to raise her voice at him, according to reports by Times Now and India TV.

What Salman Khan told ScoutOP in Bigg Boss 20 Episode 70
The push happened earlier in the week, during a captaincy task, when an argument between ScoutOP and Yung DSA, who had been close friends in the house, got out of hand, Times Now reported. Yung later said he felt betrayed.
After the incident ScoutOP had said he would push again “100 baar”, India TV reported. In the promo JioHotstar shared on X before the episode, Salman picked up that line and asked why he had not done it then. “Dhamki aur dhakka, what a combination,” he said, putting the threat and the push side by side. He added that he was not even getting into the question of betrayal, both outlets reported.
Salman also raised ScoutOP’s standing as a well-known gamer. According to India TV, he said that if a gamer who represents the country inspires people this way, then “all the best” to the people he inspires. Times Now carried the same remark.
Four punishments ScoutOP already faces
The Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar came after the show itself had acted. Times Now reported that ScoutOP was handed four Bigg Boss 20 punishments for the push. The table sets out what each one means inside the game.
| Punishment (as reported) | What it means in the game |
|---|---|
| Nominated for the rest of the season | He faces the public vote every week until the finale |
| Barred from future captaincy tasks | He cannot compete to become captain of the house |
| Restrictions on special powers | Powers handed out in tasks are limited for him |
| Warning of immediate eviction | Bigg Boss said he could be removed at once if his behaviour did not improve |
Of the four, the Bigg Boss 20 punishment with the biggest effect is the weekly nomination. A contestant who is always in the danger zone depends entirely on audience votes, with no week off.
Salman Khan’s warning to Kanika Mann
The longest exchange of Bigg Boss 20 Episode 70, by Times Now’s account, was with Kanika Mann. While she was speaking to Qazi and Amrapali, she raised her voice, and Salman told her: “Don’t raise your voice in front of me.”
He then asked about a difference in her reactions. Kanika had objected strongly to a “Lollipop” remark by Qazi, Times Now reported, but Salman pointed out that she appeared to be laughing when ScoutOP made derogatory comments about Love Gill. He asked why she had not shown the same displeasure then.
Qazi took up the same point. He said he had been eating when ScoutOP made the remarks about Love, that he questioned them at once, and that Kanika was standing nearby and seemed to be smiling. Times Now described this as Qazi calling out what he saw as her double standards. Its report did not include a reply from Kanika to either Salman or Qazi.
Questions about ScoutOP and Love Gill
Salman also asked about the bond between ScoutOP and Love Gill, the subject of Episode 69 on 13 November, when Kanika told ScoutOP she thought he had feelings for Love. In Bigg Boss 20 Episode 70, Times Now reported, Salman said ScoutOP often passes judgement on Love and on Kaashvi but becomes defensive when his own conduct is questioned.
He noted that ScoutOP reacts aggressively when Yung or Amrapali try to reason with him, yet listens when Kanika steps in, and asked whether he wanted Kanika on his side for numbers. Salman also brought up that ScoutOP did not stand up for Love when Mahhi called her a “home breaker”, and asked whether he had been a supportive friend to her.
Earlier in the Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman asked housemates to name people with strong personalities. Qazi, Arishfa and Manish described such a person as someone who takes the right stand at the right time, Times Now reported.
