Rohit Shetty clarified that Instagram is his only official social media account after a post falsely attributed to him about Gaurav Gupta's Bigg Boss 20 roast went viral.

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has set the record straight after a social media post allegedly made in his name started doing the rounds online. The filmmaker took to Instagram to clarify that he does not have a Facebook or X account, warning fans against fake accounts impersonating him.

The clarification comes after a Facebook post seemingly discussing comedian Gaurav Gupta's roast of Bigg Boss 20 contestants Scout OP and Love Gill went viral, with many believing the post was written by Rohit Shetty. However, Rohit Shetty has now stepped in to clear the air, stating that he is not on Facebook or X and that Instagram is his only official social media platform.

What Did Rohit Shetty Say About Fake Social Media Accounts?

Putting an end to the confusion, Rohit Shetty shared an Instagram Story explaining that the photo-sharing platform is his only official social media presence.

In his statement, he 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."

He further requested people not to interact with such profiles or believe that the content shared through them reflects his views.

Rohit ended his note by thanking fans for their understanding and continued support.

What Is The Gaurav Gupta Roast Controversy?

Recently, comedian Gaurav Gupta appeared on the Diwali-special episode of Bigg Boss 20, hosted by Salman Khan.

During the episode, Gaurav took a few playful digs at contestants, including Scout OP (Tanmay Singh) and Love Gill. However, some of his jokes, particularly those concerning their personal lives and relationships, did not go down well with the contestants.

Scout and Love reportedly objected to the comments.

Why Was Rohit Shetty's Name Linked To The Controversy?

Following the episode, a Facebook post attributed to Rohit Shetty began circulating online. It spoke about how making people laugh should not come at the cost of insulting or humiliating someone.

The post was widely interpreted as an indirect reaction to Gaurav's performance. However, Rohit's latest clarification makes it clear that he is not on Facebook or X, and the post wasn't made by him.
