How the row built up - Kaashvi Hiranandani apology

ScoutOP and Love Gill had described their bond as a sibling-like friendship. Viewers questioned it after clips of him massaging her went viral. India.com's coverage of the weekend promo says Rohit Shetty asked Love what ScoutOP meant to her and pointed to those moments.

Rohit Shetty was hosting because Salman Khan had said on 18 October that a prior commitment would keep him away, as Deccan Chronicle (via ANI) reported. Our earlier piece covered what was confirmed about the hosting change. For ScoutOP's background, see Who Is Scout OP?.

What was said on the 25 October episode

Kaashvi Hiranandani apology - According to NewsX, Kaashvi questioned Love about the massage incidents, accused her of emotionally manipulating ScoutOP, and urged him to draw a line. Love said she had been in pain, saw the help as normal, and considered him a brother. ScoutOP said his feelings were not romantic and apologised to Kaashvi.

NewsX's separate report says he also voiced a wish to leave the show but did not.

The claim that Love emotionally manipulated ScoutOP is Kaashvi's allegation. It has not been established, and Love rejected the framing.

Kaashvi's apology

In her Instagram Story, Kaashvi said she intended to hold ScoutOP accountable and that she could have expressed herself better. She said it was not her place to judge another person's intentions. She also said online "she knows what she's doing" content had clouded her emotions. NewsX notes she did not issue an apology to Love by name.

Love Gill's side

Love's team issued a statement, which NewsX describes as criticising double standards and calling the response a character attack. In JioHotstar Reality's 26 October promo, embedded in NewsX's report, the episode shows Love questioning ScoutOP's silence during the confrontation. NewsX says she told him the controversy had damaged her image and career. He said he would work on his behaviour and set boundaries.

Former contestants Kamya Punjabi, Manu Punjabi and Bandagi Kalra have also commented, per NewsX.[

Responsibility is contested. Kaashvi's remarks and Love's team's statement offer opposing views, and neither is verified by the show.

Whether the show will address the row on air.
Salman Khan's return date. He said on 18 October he would return "the week after next," which points to the 31 October–1 November weekend, but we found no official confirmation.
