The latest episode of Bigg Boss 20 has triggered a debate on social media after content creator and streamer Maxtern criticised host Salman Khan for his remarks about esports player ScoutOP, whose real name is Tanmay Singh. The controversy began during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, when Salman addressed Scout’s behaviour inside the house, including his body language during an on-stage interaction.
The incident has drawn reactions from digital creators, with discussions focusing on whether Scout’s casual demeanour should have been viewed as disrespectful. The disagreement has also highlighted the differences between traditional television etiquette and the more relaxed communication styles often associated with online creators.
Why Did Salman Khan Question ScoutOP?
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan spoke to the contestants about recent disagreements in the house. He specifically addressed ScoutOP’s conduct during a food-related argument with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer.
Along with questioning Scout’s behaviour towards Qazi, Salman also pointed out his sitting posture while interacting on stage. The host suggested that Scout’s body language was inappropriate for the platform and the discussions taking place. His remarks prompted ScoutOP and other housemates to respond, with contestants defending their actions or offering apologies.
Maxtern Reacts to Salman Khan’s Remarks
Content creator Maxtern expressed his disagreement with Salman Khan’s criticism and took to social media to share his reaction. He questioned why so much attention was being given to Scout’s sitting posture, directing his criticism at the Bollywood actor.
In his viral reaction video, Maxtern remarked, “Aap thodi na samjhoge” (You wouldn’t understand), suggesting that gaming creators and digital personalities may have more casual mannerisms that should not automatically be interpreted as a sign of disrespect.
His response brought further attention to the exchange, as online audiences discussed the expectations placed on digital creators appearing on mainstream television.
