Kaashvi Hiranandani is an Indian gaming creator and streamer known online as Kaash Plays. She is the girlfriend of esports personality ScoutOP, whose real name is Tanmay Singh, and she became a national talking point in October 2026 after confronting Scout on Bigg Boss 20 over his closeness to fellow contestant Love Gill.
Her career is in mobile gaming, mainly Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) and Call of Duty Mobile. Kaashvi Hiranandani has spoken in interviews about her work and her family. Most of the personal details now circulating, including her parents’ names, trace back to unsourced biography sites. Neither she nor a national outlet has confirmed them.

Kaash Plays: the gaming career behind the name
Kaashvi built her following as a BGMI streamer. Sportskeeda reported in October 2022 that she had a long association with the creator group S8UL, playing under the in-game name S8ULKaash. The same report put her main YouTube channel, Kaash Plays, at more than 619,000 subscribers and her Instagram at around 430,000 followers. She also ran a second vlog channel under her own name.
ET Now wrote in October 2026 that her gaming began during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown with Call of Duty Mobile, citing a March 2024 interview she gave to Entrepreneur India.
She gave Indulge Express an interview in 2025 around the Dreamhack and Comic Con event in Hyderabad. There she described gaming as “a stress-buster, something I did after studies or work” before streaming turned it into a career. She also spoke about working in a male-dominated field. “Being a woman in gaming often means people doubt your skills before they even know you,” she told the magazine.
Kaashvi Hiranandani and ScoutOP
Kaashvi Hiranandani is ScoutOP’s girlfriend. India Today and the Times of India both describe the relationship that way. Neither of them has given a public start date for it. Scout is a BGMI player and streamer, and his bond with Love Gill in the house pulled Kaashvi into the show’s storyline.
Her first public comment came in a livestream, reported by Free Press Journal on 7 October 2026. A clip of Scout talking about his feelings for Love had just spread online. “I just wanna say that I am okay,” she said, adding that she was handling things privately. She still wanted him to do well because “he has worked really hard to get here.” A few viral clips, she said, would not change how she felt about him.
Fans have followed the couple for years. Wedding rumors briefly circulated in June 2026. A post on r/InstaCelebsGossip from that month drew 128 upvotes with a one-line caption.
“One of my fav couple since 2021 🧿”

The same thread settled the wedding question quickly. A reply with 60 upvotes pointed out that a family wedding, and not Kaashvi’s own, was behind the pictures:
“They are not getting married as of now 😠her brother is getting married.”

That account comes from a fan, not from either family. ET Now reported in October 2026 that Kaashvi is not publicly known to be married.
What Kaashvi said on Bigg Boss 20, and the apology after
Kaashvi appeared at the Weekend Ka Vaar of 24 and 25 October 2026, an episode Rohit Shetty hosted in Salman Khan’s absence. According to India Today, she spoke about the discomfort of watching those moments from outside and said the embarrassment had reached her family. She then told Scout to “draw the line and cut her out”.
The confrontation was pointed. ANI, carried by The News Mill, reported her opening line: “How is the massage parlour going, Tanmay?” She then asked Love whether she behaved the same way with her brothers. Love answered that it had felt normal to her because she was in pain. India Today wrote that Kaashvi also accused Love of manipulating Scout and laying a trap for him, a charge that drew a large backlash online. In the same report, India Today noted that Aamrapali Dubey, Yung DSA, Kanika Mann and Gullu all spoke up for Scout during the exchange.
Kaashvi apologized on Instagram the next day. “My intention was to address Scout, call out the mistakes I felt he had made, and hold him accountable for his actions. However, in doing so, I realise that some of the words I used were insensitive towards other people involved,” she wrote, as quoted by the Times of India on 26 October.
The same statement said that clips claiming Love “knows what she’s doing” had clouded her emotions, and closed with “I recognise that and truly apologise to everyone I’ve hurt.”
A smaller episode followed on 28 October. A parcel reading “Kaashvi, it’s done bro” appeared on her stream, and viewers took it as a message about the relationship. She told followers it had come from a brand and that “the whole thing was just a joke from their end, not anything serious,” Mid-day reported.
When Salman Khan returned for the Weekend Ka Vaar of 31 October, he turned the criticism on Scout. “You say she is like a sister to you, but you couldn’t defend her in front of your girlfriend,” he told him, according to Pinkvilla. The full sequence on the house side, including Scout’s nomination of Love Gill, is set out in the Love Gill profile.
Is Kaashvi Hiranandani from the Hiranandani real-estate family?
No published report links Kaashvi Hiranandani to the Hiranandani real-estate group or to its founders. The connection is an assumption drawn from the surname alone, and neither she nor any national outlet has stated it.
What exists on her parents is thin. ET Now wrote in October 2026 that her mother is “identified in several online biographies” as Mollie Hiranandani, a designer. It attributed its sibling details to the same biography sites. The outlet presented those names as unconfirmed, and no report names her father. This profile leaves the names out until a named source confirms them.
Kaashvi has spoken about her family only in general terms. Indulge Express asked her in 2025 how they reacted to a gaming career. She said: “Like most Indian families, they were initially confused about gaming as a career. There were a lot of ‘Are you sure?’ moments!” She added that brand deals and events changed their minds, and that “today, they’re my biggest cheerleaders.”
Age, education and earnings: the reported figures
Kaashvi Hiranandani is 29 as of October 2026, if the 28 April 1997 birth date reported by ET Now is correct. She has not stated her birth date in the interviews cited here. The age calculator gives the exact figure from that date for any later day.
ET Now also reported that she grew up in Mumbai and studied business administration and management at the University of London. It again cited online biographies, and added that she worked in finance before turning to gaming. Her own line about gaming being something she did “after studies or work” fits that account without confirming the details.
Her earnings are not public. ET Now cited biography sites that estimate her net worth at roughly Rs 3 crore to Rs 5 crore. The outlet said her actual earnings and assets are not publicly established. Her income sources as a creator include YouTube, livestreams and brand partnerships, the last of which she mentioned to Indulge Express.
