Gaurav Gupta’s stint on ‘Bigg Boss’ season 20
The stand-up comedian joined the show for a brief period for their Diwali special episode, during which he performed skits and roasted the contestants. During the episode, Gupta joked about ScoutOP and Love Gill, their relationship, massage sessions, and Scout’s girlfriend as well, which made the two contestants lose their cool on the show.He took a jab at their brother and sister dynamic and commented on how Scout has two ‘remotes’ to play with (Love and Kaashvi) and even roasted him on his looks, saying, “Scout bhai ki shakal dekho aap, thodi udaas si shakal hai jaise zindagi mein kuch reh gaya ho … par jaise he he ye Love Gill ke paas aata hai, ye Scout se Sporut hojaata hai … Maa Kasam aisa khilta hai na ye” (Just look at Scout’s face—he looks a bit sad, as if something is missing from his life... but the moment he gets near Love Gill, he transforms, he goes from ‘Scout’ to ‘Sporut,’ I swear, he just lights up completely!)He continued to mock Scout on the show, saying, “Ye Scout bhai relationship mein bhi hai Kaashvi ji ke saath. Yaad hai na aapko? Aap toh gamer aadmi ho, aapko pata hai na khelte waqt ek hi remote rakhna chahiye. Inhone toh Love Gill ko bola bhi hai Mujhe tum mein Kaashvi dikhti hai” (Scout is also in a relationship with Kaashvi-ji). You remember, right? You’re a gamer—you know that when you’re playing, you should only have one ‘remote’ [controller/partner] in your hands. He even told Love Gill, ‘I see Kaashvi in you.’ Scout denied the statement, and he and Love called him out for being insensitive and also told him to get therapy.The clips from the show have now gone viral online.
