Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has issued a clarification after a Facebook post attributed to him began circulating online, leading many to believe that he had commented on comedian Gaurav Gupta’s roast of Bigg Boss 20 contestants Scout OP and Love Gill. The filmmaker has clarified that he is not on Facebook or X and that Instagram is his only official social media platform.
Rohit Shetty is gearing up for Golmaal 5, the fifth instalment of his popular comedy franchise. The filmmaker has announced January 8, 2027, as its theatrical release date. The film marks the return of the Golmaal gang nearly a decade after Golmaal Again (2017).
The film stars Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu and Sharman Joshi, with Akshay Kumar joining the franchise.
Rohit Shetty warns fans against fake account
The post read, “Friendly roasting theek hai par roasting ke naam par kisi ka mazaak udaana band hona chahiye. Hansana achhi baat hai, lekin kisi ko rulakar ya insult karke hansna nahi. Respect everyone (Friendly roasting is fine, but making fun of someone under the guise of ‘roasting’ needs to stop. It’s good to make people laugh, but not at the expense of making someone cry or by insulting them). Many social media users believed the post was written by Rohit, prompting the filmmaker to set the record straight. During the episode, he took playful digs at several contestants, including Scout OP(real name Tanmay Singh) and Love Gill. However, some of his jokes, particularly those concerning their personal lives and relationships, did not go down well with the contestants.
The clarification came after a Facebook post, seemingly discussing Gaurav Gupta’s roast of Bigg Boss 20 contestants Scout OP and Love Gill, began circulating online. Recently, comedian Gaurav Gupta appeared on the Diwali-special episode of Bigg Boss 20, hosted by Salman Khan.
