Mary Kom on Love Gill and Scout OP’s Closeness
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, filmmaker Rohit Shetty and Kaashvi Hiranandani questioned the bond between Love Gill and Scout OP. Sharing her views on their closeness, Mary Kom admitted that she, too, felt something was not right but had never doubted their intentions.
She said, “Even I felt that things were going wrong, but I didn’t get a chance to speak about it. This might be normal in the show. I never found their intentions to be bad. Love does not mean being in close proximity all the time, and when people watch them from outside, it can look wrong.”
Addressing House Criticisms and Her Journey
Prior to her departure, Mary Kom faced pointed remarks from several contestants, including Uditi Singh, Arishfa Khan, and Mahhi Vij, who alleged that her contribution to the Bigg Boss house was limited to cooking.
Unfazed by the criticism, the Olympic medalist dismissed the remarks as part of a tactical game plan. She explained, “It's a strategy. Even the other contestants must have come prepared. I am strong in my field, and so many people know that. I never felt bad about it.” Who Is Kaashvi Hiranandani? All About ScoutOP’s Girlfriend Who Called Out Gamer and Love Gill on ‘Bigg Boss 20’.
