Bigg Boss 20 premieres with Salman Khan hosting again, and one of the early contestants, esports and content creator ScoutOp (Tanmay Singh), draws attention after discussing his earnings on the show. During his entry, Salman asks whether ScoutOp plays esports as a hobby or as a profession, and ScoutOp confirms he earns professionally.
According to reports, ScoutOp says his monthly income is around Rs 30 lakh and adds that his earnings come through cheques, describing it as “white” money. Salman reacts with surprise, repeating the figure aloud and speaking to the apparent scale of the income. In parallel, other well-known digital creators—including Elvish Yadav, Abhishek Malhan (Fukra Insaan) and CarryMinati—send video messages wishing him luck for the season.
While the outlets focus on the same on-screen moment and the headline figure of Rs 30 lakh, their emphasis differs: one highlights the start of the season and the contestant’s background, while another centers on the exchange with Salman and the reaction to the earnings claim.
