Why Is Salman Khan Upset with Ashneer Grover? Here’s What Happened on Bigg Boss 18

Businessman and former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover recently appeared on Bigg Boss 18’s Weekend Ka Vaar. Known for his bold and unfiltered remarks, Ashneer found himself in an uncomfortable spot as Salman Khan confronted him about his viral videos.

In the promo, Salman didn’t hold back as he addressed Ashneer’s past comments about their professional interactions, leaving the businessman in a tight spot.

Salman Questions Ashneer’s “Double Standards”

In the clip shared by the show’s team, Salman Khan begins by welcoming Ashneer to Bigg Boss 18 but soon shifts the tone by discussing the controversial videos.

Salman asks, “I heard you said some things about me—how much we signed for, how much we didn’t. And all your figures were wrong. So what’s with this double standard?”

Ashneer, maintaining his composure, responded calmly, saying, “Taking you as a brand ambassador was a very smart decision.” However, Salman didn’t let him off the hook easily and retorted, “The attitude you’re showing now wasn’t there in the video I saw.”
