Former Bigg Boss 20 contestant Isha Rikhi has come out in support of Love Gill amid the ongoing controversy surrounding her equation with fellow housemate ScoutOP, also known as gaming influencer Tanmay Singh. Questioning why Love is facing much of the criticism, Isha has urged viewers to hear her side of the story instead of making assumptions about her character. Taking to social media, Isha said she felt bad watching the criticism directed at Love, adding that having been part of the reality show herself, she knows both Love and Scout. She argued that when two people are involved in a situation, the responsibility should not be placed entirely on one person. “@lovegillkalakaar Deserves empathy, not character assassination. Main Bigg Boss k ghar ka hissa reh chuki hoon aur Love aur Scout, dono ko jaanti hoon. Isliye Love ke saath jo ho raha hai, woh dekhkar mujhe genuinely bahut bura lag raha hai,” she wrote. Isha also pointed out that Scout had spoken about being confused about his feelings, questioning why Love was being held solely responsible for their equation. “Main yeh nahi keh rahi ki Love poori tarah sahi hai ya Scout galat hai. Main bas itna kehna chahti hoon ki kisi ek insaan ko poori tarah blame karna sahi nahi hai. Kisi ladki ke character par sawaal uthana aur uski reputation ko hurt karna bahut aasaan hota hai, lekin humein yeh bhi samajhna chahiye ki uski side ki story kya hai,” she added. Concluding her statement, Isha stressed that Love's feelings and perspective also deserved consideration. “Love bhi ek insaan hai, uski bhi feelings hain. Usko bhi samajhne ki zaroorat hai, judge karne ki nahi,” she said. What is the Love Gill and ScoutOP controversy on Bigg Boss 20? Love and Scout's close bond inside the Bigg Boss 20 house has drawn attention from viewers. The two have repeatedly described their relationship as a platonic brother-sister bond. However, their physical closeness and interactions, including moments when Scout massaged Love's feet, hands and neck or carried her, became a topic of discussion among viewers. The controversy gained further attention after Scout reportedly spoke to fellow contestant Yung DSA about feeling possessive and being confused about his feelings. The discussion also brought scrutiny to the fact that Scout has a girlfriend outside the house, Kaashvi Hiranandani.
