Family Week continued in Episode 61, aired 5 November 2026, with the remaining contestants receiving messages from home.

Reported: Kaashvi's Message First

REPORTED: as TellyChakkar reports, Scout first heard from Kaashvi, who appreciated his performance, told him he was doing really well in the house and that people were supporting him — but reminded him not to ignore some of the things she had told him, and assured him she would always support him.

Reported: His Mother's Advice

REPORTED: as TellyChakkar reports, Scout's mother then appeared in the message, showering him with love and encouraging him to play well and return home a winner. She reminded him of the two days after Kaashvi's earlier advice when he had kept his distance from Love Gill — saying those two days were very good, and that the way he behaved then was the real Scout, the real Sigma. Deccan Chronicle corroborates that Scout received a message from his mother advising him to stay focused.

Reported: The Warnings Scout Keeps Hearing

REPORTED: as TellyChakkar reports, Amrapali Dubey and Yung DSA have repeatedly tried to make Scout understand that his equation with Love is not coming across well outside the house, and have expressed concern about how the friendship is being perceived.

Love's Own Week, in Context

The message landed in a week Love has dominated. In Episode 60, verified by The Times of India and Times Now, her own mother told her to play her individual game and not get emotionally attached to other contestants — and Love then hugged Scout repeatedly, drawing mixed viewer reactions and a dig from former contestant Kamya Punjabi. Scout's mother's message now answers that same equation from the other side.

What Happens Next

It remains to be seen whether his mother's message changes Scout's decisions, or whether he continues the same equation with Love Gill — and whether the friendship stays as strong once both step outside the house.
