Bigg Boss 18: Salman Khan reminds Ashneer Grover about his statement on having him as a brand ambassador; says ‘Yeh dogalapan kya hai?’ – Times of India

The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18 brought an intriguing face-off between host Salman Khan and entrepreneur Ashneer Grover, best known as a former Shark on Shark Tank India. Ashneer made a guest appearance on the show, but Salman wasted no time addressing some of the entrepreneur’s controversial past statements.
In the episode promo, Salman confronted Ashneer about a remark he had made during a podcast, where he discussed hiring Salman as a brand ambassador and the challenges involved. Salman said, “Mere baare me kehte huye suna hai that you have signed me. Sab figures bhi aapne galat bataye. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai?” (I heard you talked about signing me and mentioned all the wrong figures. So what is this double standard?)
Ashneer, maintaining his composure, responded, “Aapko jo brand ambassador kia, I think that was one of the smartest moves.” Salman, however, pushed back, saying, “Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha.” (This attitude you are showing now wasn’t apparent back then.) Ashneer clarified that his words were misinterpreted in the podcast, to which Salman quipped that his current attitude seemed fine.For context, Ashneer had previously shared that while building his business, he wanted Salman as a brand ambassador but lacked the funds to pay his fees. Despite limited resources, Salman agreed to a reduced fee of Rs. 4.5 crores, a gesture that Ashneer described as both surprising and generous.

Additionally, Ashneer’s earlier statements about Bigg Boss stirred controversy. In a podcast, he described the show as one for “failed individuals” and admitted he rejected an offer to participate. However, he added humorously that he might join if he were paid more than Salman himself.

The fiery exchange between Salman and Ashneer added spice to the episode, leaving fans buzzing about this candid conversation.
