Salman Khan vs. Ashneer Grover: A Bigg Boss 18 Highlight
A fiery exchange unfolded on Bigg Boss 18’s Weekend Ka Vaar episode when Salman Khan took fintech entrepreneur Ashneer Grover to task. Salman accused Grover of making misleading comments about his fees during a public event, referring to Grover’s claims about a deal worth ₹7.5 crore. The incident stirred controversy, with Salman labeling Grover’s remarks as “doglapan,” a term that gained fame during Grover’s stint on Shark Tank India.
The Background of Their Feud
In 2022, Grover had shared an anecdote during a talk at Lovely Professional University. He mentioned negotiating with Salman’s team over a brand deal, during which he claimed Salman’s manager rebuked him for excessive bargaining, saying, “Are you here to buy vegetables?” This statement went viral but came back to haunt him when Salman addressed it directly on the show.
Salman’s Strong Reaction
On Bigg Boss, Salman did not hold back. He confronted Grover, questioning the authenticity of his claims and pointing out discrepancies. “I saw your video, and it didn’t match your tone today,” Salman remarked. He revealed that until Grover’s participation in the show, he didn’t even recognize his name, further adding, “Be cautious of how you present yourself.”
Grover’s LinkedIn Response
Following the heated episode, Grover took to LinkedIn to clarify. In his post, he expressed his admiration for Salman as a host and actor, emphasizing that his statements were not meant to demean the actor. Grover shared details of their 2019 meeting, insisting that his financial figures were accurate and auditor-verified. He also addressed his past comments and humorously noted that he finally managed to get a photo with Salman, marking a full-circle moment.
Conclusion: Lessons in Public Perception
The incident highlights the impact of public remarks and how they can escalate when revisited on a larger platform. While Salman ensured the episode was entertaining, Grover utilized the opportunity to clarify his side, striking a balance between humor and defense.
