In the latest episode, a heated argument broke out between actor Arishfa Khan and YouTuber Tanmay Singh aka ScoutOP.

The incident has sparked reactions online, with several viewers demanding that Salman Khan address the matter and take ScoutOP to task during the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar.
Tanmay Singh aka ScoutOP threatens Arishfa Khan
In a recent task, the girls in the Bigg Boss 20 house were asked to throw paint-filled sponges at the boys dressed in white to eliminate them from the captaincy race. The boys, meanwhile, could save themselves by hiding behind objects inside the white room. During the task, Arishfa Khan was seen throwing paint at ScoutOP and his friends, while the YouTuber tried to defend himself. When Arishfa attempted to throw paint at Yung DSA and Aasif Khan, ScoutOP tried to protect them by stepping in her way. During the scuffle, the YouTuber’s pillow hit Arishfa’s glasses, leaving her enraged.
Arishfa then asked the sanchalak to disqualify ScoutOP. While sanchalak Uditi Singh warned the YouTuber, the situation escalated when Arishfa threw the sponge at ScoutOP, hitting him on the face, close to his eye. The two then got into a heated verbal argument, during which Arishfa told ScoutOP that he knew nothing except gaming.
ScoutOP then appeared to take a dig at Arishfa’s profession, saying, “Reelo ke gaane bajadu trending vaale, nachoge ta-ta-thaiya nachaniya (Should I play the trending songs from Reels? You’ll dance to them, ta-ta-thaiya nachaniya).”
The argument escalated further when ScoutOP threatened Arishfa, “Agar dobara laga naa mujhe toh yahi patak ke fek dunga side mein (If you hit me again, I’ll slam you down right here and throw you aside).” Later, after coming out of the white room, he was heard saying, “India thukegi ispe (India will spit on her).” ScoutOP also appeared to send a message to his gaming and YouTube communities, saying, “Main khule aam gaming community ko bolta hoon, achhe YouTube community ko bolta hoon… khatam kar do (I openly tell the gaming community, I tell the good YouTube community… finish it).”
The incident sparked strong reactions online, with several viewers criticising ScoutOP for threatening Arishfa. One comment read, “Patak Ky marunga” “Khatam krdo isko” “Sab thookey gy ispy”, the amount of threats Scout has given to Arishfa over a task says loads about his pathetic personality. I hope Salman Schools this b**tard on WKV.” Another user commented, “Sick mentality.” A third wrote, “Saying ‘Patak ke chd dunga to a girl on national television’ shows the mindset and parvarish. Big Boss, kick him out and now crying for fake sympathy.”
However, several viewers also came out in support of ScoutOP, arguing that Arishfa initiated the confrontation by deliberately hitting him in the face out of frustration and by targeting his profession during the argument.
Bigg Boss 20
Hosted by Salman Khan, this year the contestants have two lives, which means two chances to save themselves from elimination. While Kanika Mann and Uditi Singh have lost one of their chances, no one has so far been evicted from the show. The show is available to watch on JioHotstar and Colors TV.
