Popular gaming influencer Kaashvi Hiranandani has issued an apology after her comments about Love Gill and ScoutOP on Bigg Boss 20 sparked backlash online. The guest, who is also ScoutOP’s girlfriend, had questioned Love’s closeness to the gamer during Weekend Ka Vaar, suggesting that Love 'laid a trap', 'manipulated' and used him.
Now, Kaashvi says she got carried away and could’ve chosen her words better.While Love and ScoutOP have maintained that they share a platonic, sibling-like bond, Kaashvi questioned their equation on national television. Her remarks didn’t go down well with several viewers, who accused her of targeting Love and painting her in a negative light.Addressing the criticism, Kaashvi clarified that her intention was to call out ScoutOP over what she believed were his mistakes, not to pass judgement on Love. "My intention was to address Scout, call out the mistakes I felt he had made, and hold him accountable for his actions.
However, in doing so, I realise that some of the words I used were insensitive towards other people involved (sic)," she wrote on Instagram.Read it here: She added that her feelings at the time didn’t give her the right to judge someone else’s character or intentions.Kaashvi also denied wanting to stir up hate against Love, admitting that online chatter had clouded her judgement. "I never intended to direct hate towards another woman or encourage anyone to target her. I understand that my words carry weight, and I take responsibility for how they may have come across (sic)," she said.
Referring to social media posts claiming that Love knew what she was doing and was playing a strategy, Kaashvi admitted that the content had affected her emotions, but said she should’ve known better. She also acknowledged that it wasn’t her place to tell Love how to behave.Wrapping up her clarification, Kaashvi apologised to those hurt by her comments, saying, "It’s not my place to tell her anything.
I recognise that and truly apologise to everyone I’ve hurt (sic)."Meanwhile, reports suggest that Love and ScoutOP's friendship has taken a hit, with Love refusing to interact with the gamer following Kaashvi’s allegations on the show.This weekend’s Weekend Ka Vaar episode saw director Rohit Shetty step in as host in place of Salman Khan.
