The latest promo of Bigg Boss 18 has ignited social media as Salman Khan, the ever-dynamic host of the show, openly challenges Ashneer Grover, the former Shark Tank India judge, for his alleged false claims and contradictory behaviour. The confrontation, part of the much-anticipated Weekend Ka Vaar episode, promises high drama and unfiltered moments that fans of the reality show have come to expect.
The Heated Confrontation: Salman Khan’s No-Nonsense Approach
In the promo released by Colors TV, Salman Khan is seen addressing Ashneer Grover directly, questioning his remarks made during a public event. Salman, known for his candid demeanor, asked Ashneer:
“Maine aapko mere baare mei kehte hue sunna hai ki ‘isko itne mai sign kar liya, utne mei sign kar liya’. Sab figures bhi aapne galat de diye. Yeh doglapan kya hai?” (I heard you talking about signing me for certain amounts and quoting incorrect figures. What is this duplicity?)
The term “doglapan” (duplicity), made famous by Ashneer himself during his Shark Tank India stint, was ironically turned against him in this moment of confrontation.
Ashneer Grover’s Defense: A Humble Tone
Caught in the crossfire, Ashneer responded with a calm and measured defense, explaining, “Sir, maybe in the podcast it didn’t come across correct.” His composed response seemed to ease the tension slightly, with Salman acknowledging, “Lekin jaise ye hai, ye barabar aa rha hai” (The way you’re answering now is correct).
Ashneer added, “Achi baat hai. Sikh rahe hai” (It’s good, I am learning), indicating a willingness to reflect on the situation. However, Salman was quick to point out the discrepancy between Ashneer’s current demeanor and the attitude he displayed in the viral video.
“Jis hisab se ab aap baat kar rahe hai, voh joh maine aapka video dekha hai, yeh aapka attitude voh vaha par nahi tha,” Salman remarked, drawing attention to the contrast in Ashneer’s public persona and his present humility.
The Backstory: Ashneer’s Viral Video and Claims
The controversy stems from a viral video in which Ashneer claimed to have signed Salman Khan as a brand ambassador. In the clip, Ashneer recounted approaching Salman’s team and negotiating the actor’s fee. According to Ashneer, Salman initially demanded ₹7.5 crores for the deal, but after some bargaining, the amount was reduced to ₹4.5 crores.
This revelation spread like wildfire on social media, with many questioning the authenticity of Ashneer’s claims. Salman Khan’s grilling on Bigg Boss 18 has now brought the matter into sharper focus, leaving viewers curious about the truth behind the story.
