Bigg Boss 18: Salman Khan confronts OG Shark Ashneer Grover about past comments on him and the show

In the episode’s promo, Salman doesn’t hold back and directly addresses Ashneer about a comment he made in the past.

The latest Bigg Boss 18 Weekend Ka Vaar episode promises an intriguing exchange as Shark Tank India’s Ashneer Grover makes a guest appearance and comes face-to-face with host Salman Khan. Known for his sharp wit and candid remarks, Ashneer is set to make headlines once again with this interaction.

In the episode’s promo, Salman doesn’t hold back and directly addresses Ashneer about a comment he made in the past. Salman says, “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 claimed to have signed me and stated all the wrong figures. So what’s this double standard?)

Ashneer responds, “Aapko jo brand ambassador kia, I think that was one of the smartest moves.” Salman counters, “Yeh jo aap baat kar rahe hai, jaise wo video tha, ye jo aapka attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha.” (The way you’re speaking now wasn’t the attitude you showed back then.) Ashneer clarifies that his earlier remarks may have been misunderstood, to which Salman quips that his current demeanor is more appropriate.

For those unaware, Ashneer had previously discussed his decision to hire Salman Khan as a brand ambassador during a business-related podcast. At the time, Ashneer emphasized the importance of building trust in businesses dealing with monetary transactions. Despite limited funds—“Mere paas bank mai pure 100 crore pade the jisse mujhe pura business banana tha” (I only had Rs. 100 crores in my bank to build my business)—he approached Salman’s manager, who initially quoted Rs. 7.5 crores. Ashneer couldn’t afford the amount and negotiated, leading Salman to agree to a reduced fee of Rs. 4.5 crores.

In another podcast two years ago, Ashneer admitted to being approached by Bigg Boss. He declined the offer, calling the show a platform for “failed individuals” and claiming it had lost its charm. Ashneer humorously added that he might reconsider if offered more money than Salman. When asked if he would host the show for such a fee, he quipped, “No no, I’d surely participate then in the show.”

The upcoming episode blends humor, drama, and candid revelations, ensuring a must-watch moment for fans of Bigg Boss 18.
