The relationship between gaming influencer Scout OP and actor Love Gill has become one of the most discussed topics inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. Amid speculation about their growing closeness, recently evicted contestant Aasif Khan has shared his perspective, saying he always saw their equation as a brother-sister relationship rather than something romantic.
In an exclusive conversation with India Today, the Panchayat actor explained that he never noticed anything beyond their sibling-like bond during his time in the house. He also maintained that both contestants are adults and should be allowed to maintain their relationship without unnecessary outside interference.
Aasif Khan Calls Scout OP and Love Gill's Bond Brother-Sister Like
Addressing the speculation surrounding Scout OP and Love Gill, Aasif said he never felt there was anything more than a brother-sister connection between them.
'The way we saw things inside, it was a brother-sister relationship. I never felt that there was something more,' he said.
The actor added that enough discussion had already taken place about their equation and saw no reason to continue speculating. He also pointed out that both Scout and Love are adults who have an independent bond, making it inappropriate for others to interfere in their personal equation.
Their closeness had previously attracted attention during Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, when host Salman Khan and director Rohit Shetty questioned their interactions. Scout OP's girlfriend, Kaashvi Hiranandani, also raised concerns about their equation, bringing the issue into the spotlight.
Aasif Khan Says Audience Love Matters More Than Bigg Boss 20 Trophy
Although Aasif Khan's journey ended just weeks before the Bigg Boss 20 finale, the actor said he was not particularly disappointed with his eviction. For him, connecting with the audience and receiving appreciation from viewers was always more important than winning the trophy.
Known for his performances in Panchayat, Mirzapur and Paatal Lok, Aasif described his participation in Bigg Boss as a major experiment. He explained that reality television was a completely different space from his usual acting projects, but he enjoyed the experience.
The actor also revealed that his family, who regularly watch Bigg Boss, enjoyed his stint on the show. He believes that accepting the offer was the right decision because he would have regretted missing the opportunity.
Aasif Khan Explains Why Fights Are Normal Inside the Bigg Boss House
Reflecting on the arguments and confrontations inside the house, Aasif explained that viewers sometimes overlook the pressure of living with several people in a confined environment.
He compared the contestants' disagreements to ordinary family arguments, explaining that fights do not necessarily mean relationships are permanently damaged.
'At home, my sister and I also fight, but after two hours, everything is fine. We sit together and eat. It's not a war,' he said.
The actor added that contestants are human beings with different emotions, reactions and personalities. According to him, disagreements are natural, but moving forward after conflicts is equally important.
Salman Khan's Appreciation Became a Special Moment for Aasif
One of the biggest highlights of Aasif's Bigg Boss 20 journey was receiving appreciation from Salman Khan. The superstar reportedly mentioned seeing his memes, which eventually encouraged him to watch Panchayat.
However, Aasif revealed that a compliment from Bigg Boss itself during the BB News task became an even more memorable moment.
When he requested a pen and paper to prepare his bulletin, Bigg Boss told him, 'You are a great actor, and you will manage without it.'
Aasif described this as the highest point of his journey, adding that receiving such appreciation from a show he had watched for nearly 20 years meant a lot to him.
He also recalled receiving compliments from actor Rajkummar Rao, whose appreciation of his acting work made the experience even more special.
Aasif Khan Is Not Worried About Missing His Instagram Follower Target
Aasif had earlier expressed confidence about reaching two million Instagram followers through his Bigg Boss 20 appearance. Although he did not achieve that milestone, the actor said follower numbers were never his primary motivation.
He explained that simply being part of one of India's biggest reality shows and receiving love from millions of viewers was enough for him.
For Aasif, the experience was about reaching a wider audience rather than chasing social media numbers or the Bigg Boss trophy.
