Bigg Boss 18: In a dramatic turn of events on Bigg Boss 18’s Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan is set to confront former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover over his controversial statements, creating what promises to be must-watch television.
Battle of words at Bigg Boss 18 Weekend Ka Vaar
The promotional clip reveals a tense exchange between the Bollywood superstar and the outspoken entrepreneur. Khan, known for his direct approach, challenges Grover about previous claims regarding their business dealings. “Maine aapke baare mein suna hai ki aapne mujhe sign kiya tha. Sab figures bhi aapne galat bataye. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai?” Khan questions, addressing alleged discrepancies in Grover’s public statements about their past collaboration.
While Grover attempts to defend his position, calling his decision to make Salman Khan a brand ambassador “one of the smartest moves,” the host appears unimpressed. “Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha,” Salman retorts, highlighting what he perceives as inconsistency in Grover’s behaviour.
The confrontation stems from Grover’s candid revelations during his appearance on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast last year. In that interview, he detailed a 2019 business interaction with Khan, describing a three-hour meeting that ended with some friction over photo opportunities. “Usko humne sponsor rakha tha, uske shoot ke liye mila tha, usko brief karne ke liye company ke baare mein,” Grover had recalled, adding controversially, “Maine bola nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi.”
Grover’s controversial comments on Salman
Adding fuel to the fire, Grover had previously disclosed financial details of their collaboration, claiming he negotiated Khan’s endorsement fee down from Rs. 7.5 crore to Rs. 4.5 crore. Perhaps most ironically, Grover once dismissed Bigg Boss participants as “failed individuals,” stating he would only appear on the show if paid the equivalent to Khan’s hosting fee.
The episode, scheduled to air on Saturday, November 16, promises to be a fascinating study in contrasts: the no-nonsense attitude of Bollywood’s biggest star versus the characteristic directness of one of India’s most controversial entrepreneurs. This face-off between two personalities known for their unfiltered communication styles suggests viewers are in for an entertaining evening of television.
The confrontation highlights the complex relationships between celebrities and business figures and demonstrates how past statements can come back to create compelling television moments.
