‘Jail mein bhi pyaar se...’: Salman Khan Slams Scout OP Over Qazi Touqeer Food Incident
During Bigg Boss 20, Salman Khan slammed Scout OP for his heartless behavior while serving food to an unwell Qazi Touqeer.
In a high-voltage episode of Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan did not hold back as he confronted contestant Scout OP for his treatment of fellow housemate Qazi Touqeer. The confrontation erupted after Scout OP was seen behaving poorly while food was being served to the unwell singer.
A Display of Calculated Kindness?
The tension reached a boiling point when Salman Khan questioned Scout OP's motives regarding a recent incident involving food. Earlier in the week, while Qazi Touqeer was unwell, Love Gill had attempted to take food to him. However, Scout OP intervened, stopping Love from delivering the meal.
Salman Khan questioned why Scout OP felt the need to step in when Love Gill was already assisting the sick contestant. The actor suggested that the move might have been a calculated attempt to gain popularity on camera. "Gesture dikhana tha ki yaar dekho beemaar aadmi ko main khana khila raha hu? TV pe bohot achha dikhega?" Salman asked, questioning if Scout OP was merely trying to present himself in a favorable light to the audience.
While Scout OP denied having any ulterior motives, claiming his intentions were genuine, the host remained unconvinced.
"Heartless" Behavior: Salman's Harsh Comparison
The discussion took a sharp turn when Salman Khan addressed the manner in which Scout OP served food to Qazi. Describing the behavior as "wahiyaad" (awful) and "heartless," the host drew a stinging comparison to the treatment of inmates in a prison.
"Jail mein bhi pyaar se mug mein dete hain. Roti dete hain, thaali dete hain. Woh bhi pyaar se hota hai jail mein," Salman remarked, pointing out that even in a jail setting, people are treated with a basic level of dignity and kindness when being served their meals.
Emotional Outbursts in the House
The intensity of the confrontation left the house in shock. As the debate continued, Qazi Touqeer broke down in tears, visibly moved by the discussion. The singer struggled to compose himself before requesting permission from Salman to speak.
The tension was further amplified by fellow contestant Mahhi Vij, who supported Qazi. She expressed deep frustration regarding the general attitude toward food distribution in the house, telling Salman that the contestants are treated so poorly that it feels as though others are trying to snatch food directly from their hands.
The controversy has already spilled over to social media, with former Bigg Boss winner Gauahar Khan previously criticizing Scout OP for the lack of basic kindness shown during the incident involving Qazi.
