Rohit Shetty took to his Instagram on Tuesday (November 10) to clarify about social media fake profiles in X and Facebook impersonating the filmmaker. Recently a viral post went viral, which criticised the comedian Gaurav Gupta’s roast of contestants Scout OP and Love Gill when he went as a guest on Bigg Boss 20. And this post was falsely attributed to Rohit Shetty.
He informed his fans to be aware of false social media profiles impersonating him and sharing false narratives. On his Instagram, the filmmaker wrote, “I would like to clarify that my only official social media presence is on Instagram”. He further added not to believe anything that has already been circulated, as coming from him.
Whereas, the facebook post that was falsely attributed to him, talked about Gaurav Gupta’s roasting of Scout OP and Love Gill saying that friendly roasting is fine, but making fun of others in pretence of roasting is not fine and needs to stop. And that it is not good to laugh at someone else’s expense.
Gaurav Gupta went as a special guest in Bigg Boss 20 for a Diwali/ Weekend Special episode. The episode featured him roasting contestants especially Scout OP and Love Gill which didn’t sit right with a lot of people on the internet. And it led to criticisms on social media platforms.
