Actress Pavitra Punia, herself a former Bigg Boss contestant, has sharply criticised the dynamic between current Bigg Boss 20 housemates Scout and Love Gill, calling their portrayal of a brother-sister bond 'cheap' and 'bullshit'. Her remarks came after Scout reportedly shaved his head, allegedly as a gesture following Love giving him the silent treatment inside the house.

What Triggered Pavitra's Reaction

Pavitra, who has openly stated she does not follow the show and has not even watched her own season, said the incident was significant enough to break her silence. 'Although I don't make videos on Bigg Boss, but it was necessary for my videos to come today because whatever is happening, that's bullshit. Bullshit,' she said in a video she shared on social media.

The act of Scout shaving his head, reportedly linked to Love's behaviour towards him, struck Pavitra as fundamentally inconsistent with how genuine sibling relationships work.

Pavitra on What Real Sibling Bonds Look Like

Drawing on her own upbringing, Pavitra Punia described the brother-sister relationship as one marked by banter, playful fights, and bluntness — not excessive emotional sacrifice. 'My brother will never be bald for me. My brother will make me bald instead,' she said pointedly.

She recalled specific incidents from her own life to illustrate her point. 'Now on Diwali, my brother burst a cracker on my feet. My feet are burnt. He has burnt his fingers too. What is this? This is actually the brother and sister relationship,' she said. She also recounted how her brother would 'personally shoot arrows at me, hit me on my feet, and throw crackers at me' — framing these as hallmarks of genuine sibling affection and playfulness.

Pavitra, who describes herself as coming from 'a very orthodox family' in Uttar Pradesh, said she has observed sibling dynamics across the world and found nothing resembling what Scout and Love are displaying on the show.

Direct Criticism of Scout and Love

'In Bigg Boss, oh my god, this boy called Scout and that girl called Love Gill. These people have started a cheap chapter inside,' she said. Pavitra went further, suggesting that people sometimes use the sibling label as cover for a different kind of relationship. 'Maybe those who behave in this way about the relationship of brother and sister — they do something else but cover it up by saying that this is my brother, this is my sister,' she alleged.

She linked the behaviour explicitly to content strategy inside the house. 'If all these things are happening in Bigg Boss, this is happening because you are giving very cheap content. Cheap. It's the height of cheapness,' she said, adding, 'You have actually raised a question on the relationship of brother and sister. You have made that relationship so dirty.'

Appeal to Bigg Boss Makers

Pavitra also addressed the show's production team directly, urging them to step in. 'I really request Bigg Boss also that please don't allow it. Our Bigg Boss team is super smart. I know those people personally. And I am sure somewhere they are also in shock,' she said.

She also referenced Kashvi, a contestant who has since exited the show, expressing relief on her behalf. 'I feel good for that girl who got out of this mess,' she said, adding, 'I personally don't know her.'

Signing off with a direct address to Scout, Pavitra said: 'What are you doing bro? Stop doing that bullshit in the house. Don't do that.' With Bigg Boss 20 continuing to generate controversy both inside and outside the house, viewer and former-contestant reactions like Pavitra's are likely to intensify as the season progresses.
