REPORTED: Scout Questions the Comedy

REPORTED: The matter did not end with Gaurav's departure. Film Window reports that Scout later expressed his frustration, saying he shares a good equation with some of India's biggest stand-up comedians and suggesting Gaurav's style of roasting was nowhere close to what he considers stand-up comedy. Love, too, continued to appear annoyed by the whole interaction.

REPORTED: No Elimination This Diwali Weekend

REPORTED: Deccan Chronicle reports there will be no elimination this weekend because of the Diwali festival, with the makers planning Diwali celebrations for the contestants instead — and Siasat reported the same expectation earlier in the week.
