Bigg Boss 20 contestant ScoutOP faces backlash after a private conversation with fellow housemate Yung DSA revealed confusing feelings about Love Gill, despite being in a relationship outside the show. Hindustan Times reported that ScoutOP admitted to developing feelings for Love, calling her a "friend before sister" while also describing her like a sister. The remarks sparked outrage online, with viewers comparing the situation to Bigg Boss 13's Paras Chhabra, who grew close to Mahira Sharma while his relationship was ending.
ScoutOP reportedly felt jealous when Love shared flirtatious moments with contestant Gullu, and noted that Love had become more comfortable with physical touch around him. Khel Ja described the conversation as "secretive," with ScoutOP and Yung DSA using eye contact and initials written in grass rather than speaking Love's name openly. The ambiguous remarks left viewers questioning whether ScoutOP's outside relationship with Kaashvi Hiranandani remains solid.
ScoutOP's Conflicting Remarks About Love Gill
During the poolside exchange, ScoutOP told Yung DSA he was unsure whether his feelings were changing toward Love Gill. Moneycontrol reported that ScoutOP hinted at developing feelings while simultaneously calling her a sister, creating confusion about the true nature of his emotions. He also expressed confusion about his own reactions, unable to explain why he felt possessive or jealous when Love interacted with Gullu.
Yung DSA Shares His Own Relationship Struggles
The episode also featured Yung DSA opening up about missing his girlfriend outside the house. Leisure Byte reported that Yung DSA said he had almost "vanished" while coping with being away from her, but recently started spending more time with other housemates. His honesty about missing his relationship contrasted sharply with ScoutOP's ambiguous statements about Love.
Viewers Draw Parallels to Paras Chhabra Controversy
Fans compared ScoutOP's situation to Bigg Boss 13, when Paras Chhabra grew close to Mahira Sharma while his relationship with Akanksha Puri was ending. Asianet News noted that viewers flagged ScoutOP's previous comments about a five-year relationship outside the show, making the new remarks about Love even more controversial. The comparison suggests a pattern of contestants developing feelings for housemates while attached to people outside.
Internet Expresses Disgust Over Double Standards
Hindustan Times reported that the internet is "disgusted" by ScoutOP's behavior, with many calling it "awful" to admit developing feelings for another woman while in a committed relationship. Viewers questioned how ScoutOP could feel jealous of Love's interactions with Gullu if Love was truly just a sister to him. The conflicting statements fueled speculation that ScoutOP may be testing waters with Love while keeping his outside relationship as backup.
