Why it matters
The ScoutOP and Love Gill row has run on the show for two weekends and spilled onto social media, with both contestants' teams posting about it. Saturday's episode put the host's view on record, gave Scout and Love a chance to answer on air, and Scout and Love are among the five housemates awaiting this week's eviction result.
Bigg Boss 20 ScoutOP was at the centre of Salman Khan’s return as host. On the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Saturday, 31 October 2026, Salman questioned the gamer’s loyalty and asked why he had not stood up for Love Gill, the housemate he calls a sister, when his girlfriend Kaashvi Hiranandani spoke about her on the show the previous weekend. Recaps of the episode by Times Now and Free Press Journal (FPJ) both report the exchange.
It was Salman’s first weekend back after a one-week break, during which filmmaker Rohit Shetty hosted. New episodes stream at 9 pm on JioHotstar and air at 10.30 pm on Colors TV, India TV reported. NewsPlainly has not watched it; everything below is attributed to the outlet that reported it, and lines from the promo released earlier in the day are marked as promo lines.
What Salman Khan told ScoutOP on Weekend Ka Vaar
According to Times Now, Salman opened the episode with general advice on relationships. If a partner wants to walk away, he said, let them go, and no third person can break a relationship. In a similar spot, he said, he would have handled it maturely and stood by his friendship.
He then turned to Scout, the gaming creator whose real name is Tanmay Singh. In Times Now’s account, Salman told him that people outside the house were talking about him, and that in a single week he had shown he was not loyal to anyone. Scout had not defended the friend he calls a sister in front of his girlfriend, had not answered her questions and had not stood by Yung DSA, the fellow creator he calls a brother, Salman said. When Scout tried to explain, the host cut in and also raised Scout’s decision to nominate Love for eviction, which Salman described as resting on an odd reason.
FPJ’s recap gives the same core: Salman questioned Scout’s loyalty, called him out for not standing up for Love when Kaashvi accused her of manipulating him, and told him to take responsibility instead of blaming others. FPJ also reported that Salman asked Scout, Love and Aamrapali Dubey to give their views one by one.
Salman said he had once given Scout a hint about how the brother-sister bond looked and had then let the topic go; Scout, he said, should have let it go too, Times Now reported. He asked why Scout looked nervous rather than happy when Kaashvi walked in, and questioned his new closeness with Gullu and Kanika Mann. He also asked Scout to say plainly what he felt, if anything, and whether he was simply trying to save his relationship with Kaashvi.
Bigg Boss 20 ScoutOP reply, on air and outside the house
When Salman asked why he had not taken a stand, Scout answered, “Mai ghabra gaya tha. Rohit sir ne just bola tha…”, meaning that he had panicked because Rohit Shetty had just spoken, Times Now reported. The recap gives the line only as far as that and does not say what he went on to say.
The promo that JioHotstar released before the episode shows another part of the exchange. In it, Salman asks Scout whether Love is manipulative and Scout says no, according to Pinkvilla. Salman then asks whether he is a small child who can be manipulated that easily. Times Now reported the same toddler remark from the aired episode.
Outside the house, Scout’s team responded on his Instagram Stories after the promo came out. Mid-Day reported on Saturday night that the team reshared fan-made reels and comments saying the makers were biased against him and building a false story about him. One reshared reel said the fan would rather see him evicted than keep watching him called out on Weekend Ka Vaar; another said he was being pushed until he quits or breaks down. These were fans’ posts that his team reshared, not a statement in the team’s own words. The reports read for this article carry no response from the makers.
Love Gill’s answer to Kaashvi Hiranandani
Salman said that if he had been in the house the previous weekend, he would not have let Kaashvi’s remarks about Love pass, according to Times Now. He told the housemates that Kaashvi had since apologised. On 25 October she had told Scout that Love had trapped him, and she apologised on Instagram the next day without naming Love, as NewsPlainly reported at the time.
The host also put a question to Love herself: why had she not stood up for her own self-respect when she made up with Scout? Given the floor, Love spoke to Kaashvi directly. She said Kaashvi should not have talked about her because the two had no personal bond, and that the matter was between Scout and his girlfriend, so she should not have been pulled into it, Times Now reported.
FPJ reported one more moment from the same segment. Salman recalled that when a female friend once said something about Shera, his close aide, he stopped her then and there. FPJ read the story as a lesson for the housemates on drawing lines for the people close to them.
Who else Salman pulled up on Weekend Ka Vaar
The episode was not only about Scout. By NewsPlainly’s count from the two recaps, Salman took up six housemates in all. The table sets out each one and which outlet reported it.
| Housemate | What the host raised | Reported by |
|---|---|---|
| ScoutOP | Loyalty; not defending Love before Kaashvi; nominating Love | Times Now, FPJ (aired); Pinkvilla, Mid-Day (promo) |
| Love Gill | Not standing up for her self-respect | Times Now |
| Aamrapali Dubey | Not stepping in during the row; housemates taking her for granted | FPJ, Times Now |
| Yung DSA | Play his own game, not lean on his friendship with Scout | FPJ |
| Gullu | Another physical clash, with Yung | Times Now |
| Mahhi Vij | Her contribution to the game; more game, less gossip | FPJ, Times Now |
