A viral social media post claiming that filmmaker Rohit Shetty had extended his support to Bigg Boss 20 contestant Scout OP while taking a dig at comedian Gaurav Gupta recently caught the attention of fans. However, putting an end to the speculation surrounding the alleged statement, the filmmaker has now issued a clarification, distancing himself from the viral post.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Rohit Shetty clarified that Instagram is the only social media platform where he maintains an official presence. The filmmaker categorically stated that he is not active on either Facebook or X and that any account claiming to represent him on these platforms is fake and unauthorised.
Sharing the clarification, Rohit wrote, “I would like to clarify that my only official social media presence is on Instagram. I am not present on Facebook or X. Any account or profile claiming to be me on these platforms is fake and unauthorised. I request everyone to not engage with such accounts or consider any content posted through them as coming from me. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
The clarification comes amid discussions surrounding Bigg Boss 20 and the recent exchange involving Scout OP and Gaurav Gupta. A viral X post had allegedly suggested that Rohit Shetty had taken a stand in favour of Scout OP while criticising Gaurav Gupta. The post soon began circulating online, prompting conversations among viewers and fans of the reality show.
However, with his latest statement, Rohit has made it clear that he has no connection with the alleged post and that people should not attribute statements made by unauthorised accounts to him. His clarification also serves as a warning to social media users to verify the authenticity of profiles before believing or sharing content attributed to public figures.
