She said, “Jab ek maa hone ke naate main khud ko is situation mein rakhkar dekhti hoon, toh mujhe yaad aata hai ki jab show ke host Salman sir ka ek edited promo saamne aaya tha, tab unhe khud aakar logon ko samjhana pada tha ki is tarah ke fake promos se galat perception create ho sakta hai.

She added, “Scout show ke bahar bhi ek zindagi jeeta haiUska career hai, uske apne relationships hain aur use aage bhi kaam karna haiUsne kai baar saaf-saaf apni baat rakhi hai aur apne relationships ko lekar bhi har sawaal ka jawab diya haiLekin iske bawajood baar-baar unhi baaton ko alag-alag tareekon se dikhaya ja raha hai.”
Scout OP’s mother accuses makers of selective editing
Scout’s mother also questioned the way old clips and unrelated videos were being combined to create promotional contentShe claimed that such edits were presenting a story that did not reflect the complete truth. She said, “Aapki taraf se bhi kaha gaya tha ki gaanon aur edits ke zariye kisi ki image ko alag tarah se project nahi kiya jaata hai, lekin baar-baar wahi cheezein dohrayi ja rahi hainKabhi purane clips ko jodkar, kabhi baaton ko beech se kaatkar aur kabhi bilkul alag-alag maukon ke videos ko jodkar promotion banaya ja raha haiIsse ek aisi kahani saamne aati hai jo poori sachchai se bilkul alag hai.”
‘Aakhir ek insaan ko kitna mentally push kiya jayega?’
In her emotional message, Scout’s mother also expressed concern about her son’s mental healthShe said that he was already dealing with a lot of pressure inside the house, and repeatedly bringing up the same issues through promotional videos was making things more difficult for him.
She said, “Ek maa ke liye yeh dekhna bahut mushkil hai ki uska beta mentally itna kuch jhel raha haiWoh pehle hi bahut pressure mein hai aur kai baar apni takleef bhi zahir kar chuka haiUse is had tak mental stress se guzarte dekhne ke bawajood baar-baar unhi baaton ko uthakar gaanon aur edits ke zariye promotion kiya ja raha hai aur ek nayi narrative banayi ja rahi haiAakhir ek insaan ko kitna mentally push kiya jayega?”
Clarifying that she was not asking the makers for any special treatment, she requested them to give Scout a fair chance to present his sideShe also urged them to show his statements in their complete context instead of using selective portions.
She added, “Main kisi special treatment ki maang nahi kar rahi hoonBas itna chahti hoon ki mere bete ke saath bhi fairness hoUski baaton ko poora dikhaya jaaye, unka context kaatkar nahiUse bhi apni baat rakhne ka aur apni image ko lekar pareshaan hue bina is safar ko poora karne ka mauka mile.”
Concluding her message, she reminded the makers that the impact of a reality show can continue even after it endsShe said that a contestant’s mental health, career and personal life should also be considered while creating promotional content.
She added, “Aakhir woh bhi kisi ka beta haiUski bhi ek zindagi hai, uske bhi sapne hain aur uska bhi ek future haiEk show aur uska promotion kuch waqt ke liye hota hai, lekin uska asar kisi insaan ki zindagi aur mental health par bahut lambe waqt tak reh sakta hai.”
