Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has publicly denied writing a viral post about a recent comedy roast on a reality television show. The fake online message had appeared after comedian Gaurav Gupta made jokes on Bigg Boss 20 contestants Scout OP and Love Gill. The online post criticized the roast for crossing the line into personal insults and hurting people.

Social Media Clarification

Rohit posted an update on Instagram to clear up the confusion and distance himself from the fake accounts. He stated that Instagram is his only official platform. He does not have any profile on Facebook or X, which was formerly known as Twitter.

Fake Profiles

The filmmaker warned the public to ignore any unauthorized pages using his name and picture. He asked people not to believe or share statements coming from those fake accounts. The viral remarks had specifically mentioned that light comedy is fine, but making fun of others or making them cry is wrong. Users online had linked those words to Gaurav targeting Scout OP about his girlfriend Kaashvi Hiranandani and his bond with Love Gill.
