Gauahar Khan calls out Bigg Boss 20's Qazi for spitting in Scout's ear
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Gauahar Khan has sharply criticised Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi for his behaviour towards fellow housemate Scout, alleging that host Salman Khan's early praise for Qazi may have emboldened him to act out. Gauahar, herself a former Bigg Boss winner, took to social media on 14 October 2026 to publicly call out Qazi for reportedly spitting in Scout's ear and making boastful remarks about it.
What Gauahar Said
In a candid social media post, Gauahar explained that excessive praise can sometimes lead contestants to lose their sense of restraint. 'What happens is, when you are praised a lot, then many times, the fear is that you might get hit on the head. Right? And in my first week, I said that I really hope that Kazi doesn't do something wrong or he doesn't go the wrong way. And, he did,' she said.
She went further, adding: 'According to me, spitting in his ear or boasting about him was very wrong. And, I really hope, for Qazi's sake, that on this weekend, Salman, definitely, definitely, tells him that somewhere or the other, his joke is going a little over the top. And, it will start getting monotonous and a little irritating. So, it's not cool what he did with Scout.'
The Incident Inside the House
According to reports, the controversy escalated when contestant Nakuul relayed to Scout what he had allegedly overheard — that Qazi had been boasting about spitting in Scout's ear and making disparaging remarks. Scout and another contestant, Young, reacted strongly to the information. Nakuul later clarified that he had simply overheard the comments and was passing them on.
The situation spiralled into a physical confrontation when Gullu Gullu asked Nakuul not to escalate matters. Nakuul allegedly moved aggressively towards Gullu, and the two reportedly got into a physical scuffle. Contestant Mahhi Vij stepped in to defend her friend Gullu, confronting Nakuul and reportedly hitting him on the back as he advanced.
Gauahar Praises Mahhi Vij
In a separate post, Gauahar praised Mahhi Vij for standing up for her friend during the heated confrontation with Nakuul, suggesting that loyalty and courage under pressure are qualities worth recognising inside the Bigg Boss 20 house.
Why This Matters for the Show
Gauahar's public call-out carries weight given her credibility as a Bigg Boss alumna. Her comments put pressure on the makers and on Salman Khan to address Qazi's conduct during the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode. This comes amid a broader pattern on the show where early fan-favourite contestants have faced criticism for crossing lines as the season progresses — a dynamic that Gauahar herself flagged in her very first week of commentary this season.
Whether Salman addresses Qazi's behaviour on the weekend episode will be closely watched by fans and critics alike.
