Salman Khan Lashes Out On Ashneer Grover For Controversial Comments

This came after Khan confronted Grover for making false claims against him during the Vagehra Vagehra podcast in 2023. During the episode, the former BharatPe co-founder recounted being denied the opportunity to have a picture with Khan during the brand collaboration ad shoot. “Bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi (Go to hell, what are these starry tantrums),” Grover had said. He also shared that Salman’s team initially demanded Rs 7.5 crore, adding that the team eventually agreed to a significantly reduced fee of Rs 4.5 crore, making the collaboration possible.

Responding to this, Khan slammed Grover and questioned him for making inappropriate remarks and even quoting the incorrect amount during the event.

Here’s the viral video:

Salman asked “Maine aapko mere baare mein kehte huye suna hai kuch. Aapne kaha ki, 'Humne toh isko itne mein sign kardiya'. Uska figure bhi aapne galat de diya. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai.”

Ashneer replied, saying “Aapko jo humne brand ambassador dia, I think that was one of the smartest moves I made.”

Salman continued saying, “Lekin jis hisaab se ab aap baat kar rahe hai aur woh jo maine aapka video dekha hai, yeh aapka attitude wahan par nahi tha.”

In the Twitter post, Grover shared his perspective on the interaction. He praised the Bigg Boss 18 host and expressed his confidence that the episode garnered excellent TRP ratings, which according to the netizens is nothing more than a coverup.
“I hope you enjoyed the Bigg Boss weekend ka vaar! I had good fun. And I am sure the particular episode got great TRP / viewership,” said Grover in the post.

He further wrote, “BTW all of the statements below are TRUE:

  • Salman is a great host & actor.
  • Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss.
  • I’ve always praised Salman for his sense of self and business - not a single thing demeaning was said to him ever.
  • My deal numbers are always correct (bank/auditor verified)
  • Met Salman in an exclusive meeting on brand collab for 3 hours in May 2019 in JW Marriott Juhu - along with the director of ad (it’s ok if he doesn’t remember me - I was not a public figure then - he meets tons of people)
  • The invite to come as a guest on Bigg Boss was not ‘unnamed’ - just like the cheque for the same ;)

And finally, I’ve a pic with him - which I didn’t earlier ;) Thanks @BeingSalmanKhan. Keep rocking!”

However, the post brought massive trolling to the STI judge. Him speaking on X and not being able to defend himself in front of Salman has made Grover a laughing stock among netizens.
