Filmmaker Rohit Shetty questioned Lovepreet Gill about her relationship with fellow contestant Scout on the reality show ‘Bigg Boss 20’, pointing out that their physical closeness, including Scout massaging her legs, hands and neck, could be perceived differently by viewers outside the house.

In a promo shared by the channel on Instagram, Rohit stepped in for hosting duties, and Salman Khan had prior commitments. The filmmaker asked Lovepreet about her bond with Scout.

Lovepreet maintained that she considers Scout a brother, while Rohit said their interactions were “looking absolutely wrong” from an outsider’s perspective.

“When he’s massaging your legs, massaging your hands, massaging your neck. Love, that doesn’t look right. You tell Scout to massage your back. He’s massaging your calves. It’s not looking good at all,” Rohit said.

To which, Scout chimed in: “I do, Mahi di too.”

Rohit replied: “Scout! What you see outside, what you feel outside, that’s what I’m telling you. It’s looking absolutely wrong.”

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan took a trip down memory lane as he recalled a humorous childhood memory of celebrating Diwali, saying that the excitement of bursting firecrackers often turned into a friendly rivalry with neighbours.

Actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey brought festive cheer to the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati as they joined megastar Amitabh Bachchan for a special Diwali episode while promoting their upcoming film Ramayana.

(Amitabh ji, do you have any memories of Diwali?)

(Sir, the only thing I remember about Diwali is that if a firecracker went off at the neighbour’s house, ours had to be louder than theirs)
