Comedian Gaurav Gupta has seemingly responded to the controversy surrounding his appearance on Bigg Boss 20. The comedian has reshared several fan-made videos supporting him and criticising Scout OP and Love Gill following their heated exchange during the Diwali-special Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
Although Gaurav has not issued an official statement or directly addressed the incident, his latest Instagram activity has caught viewers’ attention. Several social media users are interpreting his reposts as an indirect response to the criticism and confrontation that followed his comedy act on the show.
Gaurav had reportedly made his Instagram account private after the episode triggered a debate among Bigg Boss 20 viewers. He has now switched his account back to public. While his recent updates had largely focused on his upcoming comedy tour, his latest activity includes resharing videos highlighting the support he has received online.
The reposted videos feature viewers questioning Scout’s reaction to the jokes and criticising the way he and Love responded to Gaurav’s performance. Some users have also argued that the comedian’s act would likely have been discussed with the show’s creative team before his appearance.
Another point drawing attention is Scout’s remark that his “army” would handle Gaurav outside the show. The comment has prompted criticism from some viewers, who have questioned the contestant’s response to the comedian’s jokes.
However, Gaurav’s decision to reshare these videos should not be treated as a formal statement. The comedian has not independently clarified his position or explained whether he agrees with every opinion expressed in the posts.
What Happened Between Gaurav Gupta, Scout OP and Love Gill on Bigg Boss 20?
The controversy began during the Diwali-special Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, when Gaurav Gupta appeared on the show for a comedy segment. During his act, the comedian took digs at Scout OP’s equation with Love Gill and his relationship with Kaashvi Hiranandani.
Gaurav joked that Scout, who is known for gaming, was playing with “two remotes”, referring to his closeness with Love inside the house and his relationship with Kaashvi. The joke did not go down well with Scout, who objected to the comedian bringing his personal life into the performance.
Scout responded, “I might have many issues, but he should not drag my personal life into all this.” He also added, “I will give him a reply if I step outside.”
Love Gill also confronted Gaurav during the exchange. She told the comedian, “Aapko therapy ki zarurat hai.” The interaction made the segment tense, with both contestants expressing their displeasure over the jokes.
Even after Gaurav left, Scout continued discussing the performance and described the remarks as “below-the-belt”. He questioned why the comedian had brought Kaashvi into the act and maintained that the jokes had crossed a personal boundary.
Why Did Gaurav Gupta Make His Instagram Account Private?
Following the episode, Gaurav’s Instagram account reportedly became private as the controversy attracted attention online. His appearance on Bigg Boss 20 had divided viewers, with some supporting the comedian’s roast while others felt that jokes about contestants’ personal relationships had crossed a line.
His account is now public again, and the comedian has resumed sharing updates. However, the latest reposts supporting him have become a talking point because they appear to address the debate without Gaurav issuing a direct response.
The discussion has also raised questions about the boundaries of comedy roasts on reality television. While some viewers believe contestants should expect jokes and criticism when appearing on a comedy segment, others argue that personal relationships should not become the subject of public jokes without considering the people involved.
Rohit Shetty’s Clarification Adds Another Twist to the Controversy
The debate surrounding Gaurav’s Bigg Boss 20 appearance also extended to a viral social media post falsely attributed to filmmaker Rohit Shetty. The post was circulated as though Rohit had criticised Gaurav’s roast of Scout OP and Love Gill.
Rohit subsequently clarified that the viral Facebook post was fake and unauthorised. He also stated that Instagram is his only official social media platform, distancing himself from the post being circulated in his name.
The clarification is important because the viral post should not be presented as Rohit’s actual opinion about the controversy.
For now, Gaurav’s reshared videos remain his most visible response to the backlash. Whether he will address Scout and Love’s reactions directly or share a detailed statement remains to be seen.
