Add BollywoodShaadis on GooglePunjabi actor and comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi has finally been asked about Love Gill's ongoing stint on Bigg Boss 20. However, viewers hoping for a reaction to the actress's controversial journey may be disappointed. The 55-year-old actor made it clear that he does not follow the reality show and questioned why people spend time watching it when there are more serious issues to discuss.
Gurpreet's remarks have attracted attention because he and Love were previously linked amid rumours of an alleged affair following their association in the Punjabi film Furlow.
What did Gurpreet Ghuggi say about Love Gill's Bigg Boss 20 journey?
Gurpreet recently attended an event at a school in Ludhiana, where a reporter asked him about Love's performance on Salman Khan's reality show. The actor did not appear interested in discussing the subject. Instead, he said he did not watch the show and questioned the importance being given to entertainment television. He was quoted as saying:
“Main woh show dekhta hi nahi hoon. Mere liye woh show important nahi hai. Samaaj mein aur bade mudde hain. Main hairaan hoon ki aap show dekhte ho. Television dekhne ka time hai aapke pass. Main balihaar jaata hu aap par."
Gurpreet went on to talk about the need to focus on more meaningful concerns, particularly those affecting Punjab and its younger generation. Before concluding his response, the actor wished people happiness, peace and dignity, and expressed hope that children would have opportunities to grow and that Punjab would prosper. In his words:
“Entertainment industry bahut peeche hai. Samaaj mein bahut bade mudde hain jo iss waqt discussion karvale hain. Bhagwan sukh-shanti bakshe, aur sabko izzat, mann aur aman ki roti deve. Humare bache grow kare, Punjab tarike kare. Bahut shukirya aap sabka."
Gurpreet and Love found themselves at the centre of a major controversy earlier this year after a Canada-based YouTuber and a local social media account circulated allegations about their relationship.
The claims suggested that the two actors had been romantically involved after working together on the Punjabi film Furlow. Some posts went further, alleging that Love had become pregnant during the supposed relationship and that a settlement of Rs 5 crore had been arranged to keep the matter private.
Gurpreet reportedly described the claims as completely false and fabricated, calling the controversy an attempt to damage his reputation. He also said his team had looked into the accounts circulating the allegations and alleged that certain people and companies had paid for the defamatory content to be shared. Love also rejected the rumours. Gurpreet reportedly took legal action over the claims, and some of the content was subsequently removed from social media platforms.
Latest on Love Gill's controversy inside the Bigg Boss 20 house
Love's current stint on Bigg Boss 20 has attracted considerable attention, particularly because of her equation with fellow contestant ScoutOP. Although the two initially described their bond as that of a brother and sister, their closeness became a talking point among viewers. The matter escalated during a Weekend Ka Vaar episode when Rohit Shetty questioned them about their conversations, the closeness with which they sat, and their behaviour inside the house.
Scout's girlfriend, Kaashvi Hiranandani, also entered the show and confronted him over his behaviour with Love. She expressed discomfort with their closeness and questioned why he had compared her with the actress. She supposedly hinted at ending their relationship when things didn't seem to get better a few days ago, claiming that her Bigg Boss message was her "final act."
The controversy continued after Love and Scout had an emotional argument. Scout later shaved his head and broke down in tears, while Love expressed frustration over his behaviour. Fellow contestant Kanika Mann also suggested that Scout might have romantic feelings for Love. However, both have consistently denied having a romantic relationship.
Interestingly, Love tied a rakhi to Scout during a Diwali special episode, reiterating that she considered him her brother. Her journey has been a talking point this season, with viewers divided on her actions and decisions in the house.
