On 25 October, Rohit Shetty told the Bigg Boss 20 house that someone had come to see ScoutOP. Nobody on the show had invited her. Kaashvi Hiranandani, the BGMI streamer who has built an audience of her own as Kaash Plays, walked in to ask Scout a direct question about his closeness to Love Gill, and the confrontation became one of the most discussed episodes of the season. Two weeks later, posts on X say she could return to the house as a wild card. The makers have not confirmed it.

Who Is Kaashvi Hiranandani?

Kaashvi Hiranandani is a Mumbai-based gaming streamer and creator who became one of India’s best-known women in mobile esports through Battlegrounds Mobile India, or BGMI. She goes by Kaash Plays online and is widely described as a creator associated with the S8UL Esports organisation, according to Famous Birthdays. Her videos and streams mix gameplay with humour and lifestyle content, and she also runs a separate vlog channel under her own name.

How Old Is Kaashvi Hiranandani?

Kaashvi Hiranandani is 29, according to the 28 April 1997 birth date given by most biography sites, including The Sunday Guardian and StarsUnfolded. Famous Birthdays gives 27 April 2002 instead. Belloria has not found an official statement, so the age is reported rather than confirmed.

Early Life and Background

She was born in Mumbai and studied abroad: Sportskeeda says she went to college in Singapore, though sites disagree on the degree and university, so Belloria does not name one. According to The Established, she was working a day job and streaming at night before she chose gaming full time, and The Bridge describes a finance career she left during the pandemic.

Career: From Lockdown Streams to a BGMI Following

She told Entrepreneur India in March 2024 that her gaming started when the 2020 lockdown pushed her toward Call of Duty Mobile. Her main channel, Kaash Plays, took off in 2021 as she moved to BGMI, according to Sportskeeda, and by early 2024 she had about 1.1 million followers on Instagram and 1.12 million subscribers on YouTube, according to Entrepreneur India. More recent profile sites claim around 2 million on Instagram and 1.7 million on YouTube, but they do not show how they counted, so Belloria treats those figures as unverified.

Her content has long overlapped with ScoutOP’s world. A Kaash Plays video titled with a joke about being bullied by Scout for two years drew more than 700,000 views, according to AFK Gaming, and she has made collaboration series with other gaming creators.

Latest Updates: The Bigg Boss 20 Visit

Kaashvi’s first appearance on the show was on the October 25 Weekend Ka Vaar, episode 50. Wikipedia’s season page lists her as a guest on Day 49 “to interact with” ScoutOP, and Leisurebyte reports that Shetty clarified the team had not invited her and she had come on her own. According to Leisurebyte, she asked Love Gill whether she treated all her “muh-bole bhai” the same way and told Scout to cut Love off completely, and according to Bollywood Hungama she asked him how the “massage parlour” was going. The housemates told her they had not seen anything inappropriate, and she asked Yung DSA to look after the situation.

The reaction split quickly. Kamya Punjabi criticised her on X for putting the blame on another woman, and Love Gill’s team said she has always seen Scout as a brother and called the criticism of her a double standard, according to Bollywood Hungama. On 26 October Kaashvi apologised on Instagram Stories, saying she had wanted to hold Scout accountable, had not meant to direct hate at anyone and accepted that some of her comments were insensitive, according to India.com.

She has stayed in the story since. On 31 October Salman Khan questioned Scout over why he had not taken her concerns seriously and why he later became friends with Love again, according to a Filmibeat source. In the Week 9 family-message task, the cassette Love Gill played for ScoutOP carried messages from Kaashvi and his parents, according to ETV Bharat’s recaps. Full timelines for both are on the Bigg Boss 20 season tracker and in ScoutOP’s profile and Love Gill’s profile.

Is Kaashvi Hiranandani Entering Bigg Boss 20 as a Wild Card?

Not confirmed. Bollywood Shaadis, citing a Telly Masala report, said she would enter in a mid-week episode, and Deccan Chronicle carried an X post making the same claim while noting it could not say how true it was. Bigg Boss has had two wild cards this season, Manish Goel and Nakul Dhull, and the makers have not named a third. A post on X dated 8 November is circulating the claim again, but Belloria could not open it, so it is treated as unverified. What is confirmed is that she visited as a guest on 25 October and is not a contestant. This section will be updated if the show announces anything.

Is Kaashvi Hiranandani ScoutOP’s Girlfriend?

India.com, The Sunday Guardian and StarsUnfolded call her his girlfriend, while Leisurebyte calls her his friend, and neither has described the relationship in a statement Belloria could find. In the house Scout told her that he loved her and did not want to hurt her, according to Belloria’s own viewing of episode 50.
