Bigg Boss 18: Ashneer Grover gets grilled by Salman Khan over his attitude problem; netizens say, ‘baap baap hota hai’

Former ‘Shark Tank India’ judge Ashneer Grover was seemingly put on the spot by superstar Salman Khan at the recent episode of Bigg Boss 18. A promo of the upcoming episode showed the ‘Dabangg’ actor taking the entrepreneur to task, roasting him thoroughly. A clip shared on Reddit shows the actor welcoming Ashneer, the former Shark Tank India judge and co-founder of BharatPe, onto the reality show. However, Salman didn't hold back as he addressed Ashneer's past controversial remarks about him.

Salman questioned Ashneer, saying, "I’ve heard you speak about me. You mentioned, ‘We signed him for this amount,’ and even quoted incorrect figures. So, what’s with this double standard?" Ashneer responded by calling the decision to make Salman a brand ambassador "one of the smartest moves" he ever made. Salman countered, "The tone you're using now is different from what I saw in your earlier video. Your attitude back then didn’t match what I’m seeing now." Ashneer clarified, saying, "Maybe it didn’t come across correctly in the podcast." The clip ended with Salman commenting, "But now, it seems right."

Fans React to Salman and Ashneer’s Exchange

Clips of their interaction quickly went viral on social media, sparking various reactions. One fan noted, "He’s just nodding along now!" Another commented, "This is the first time I’ve seen Ashneer looking nervous." Someone else quipped, "Doglapan (double standards) just got personal." A witty Instagram user remarked, "Bhai picked the shark from the aquarium and put him in a bowl," while another joked, "When an app meets the operating system."

What Ashneer Previously Said About Salman

Ashneer had discussed his experience with Salman during an appearance on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast last year. He revealed feeling snubbed when Salman’s manager denied him the chance to take a photo with the actor during a shoot. Ashneer shared, "We had him as a sponsor, and I spent three hours with him for a briefing about our company. But his manager said photos weren’t allowed because ‘Sir doesn’t like it.’ I told them, fine, I won’t take a picture. Go to hell—what’s with all the attitude?"

The episode promises to shed light on their past misunderstandings, with fans eagerly awaiting the drama.
