On the latest episode of Bigg Boss 18, viewers witnessed a fiery exchange between host Salman Khan and guest Ashneer Grover, the former judge from Shark Tank India. This confrontation, which has turned heads and sparked conversations across social media, revolved around controversial comments Grover had made about Salman, creating quite the buzz among fans and netizens alike.
During the Weekend Ka Vaar segment, Salman Khan didn't hold back as he confronted Grover about disparaging remarks he made on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast. Salman brought up past statements Grover had made, highlighting, “Maine aapko mere baare mein kehte huye suna hai kuch. Aapne kaha ki, ‘Humne toh isko itne mein sign kardiya’. Uska figure bhi aapne galat de diya. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai (I heard you talking about me. You said, ‘We have signed him for this much’. You also gave the wrong figures. So what are these double standards)?”
Grover attempted to defend himself, claiming, “Aapko jo humne brand ambassador liya, I think was one of the smartest moves I made.” To which Salman retorted, “Lekin jis hisaab se ab aap baat kar rahe hain, woh jo maine aapka video dekha hai, yeh aapka attitude wahan par nahi tha (But the way you’re talking now, the attitude you had back then is quite different).” This sharp exchange reveals the tension brewing between the actor and the ex-entrepreneur, making for compelling television.
Social media lit up following the airing of the episode, with many users commenting on how they had never seen Grover so nervous before. One viewer quipped, "First time I have seen Ashneer scared and nervous like this," capturing the essence of Grover’s discomfort during the encounter. The discourse has also revolved around the theme of double standards, or “doglapan,” which Salman pointedly highlighted, making this more than just an entertaining clash but also a critique of Grover’s previous remarks.
Previously, on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast, Grover had shared his frustration about his experience meeting Salman Khan. He recounted signing him as the brand ambassador for his business and described how Salman’s manager insisted they couldn’t take photos during their three-hour meeting. Grover recounted, “Maine bola nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi (I said I won’t get a picture clicked to hell with you. What is this attitude).” This backstory added fuel to the fire for their current confrontation, illustrating how past grievances can often resurface dramatically.
While Salman’s stern questioning could be seen as merely part of the entertainment style Bigg Boss is known for, it also reflects the broader issues of respect and professionalism, especially within the high-stakes world of celebrity and business. The situation exemplifies how public figures navigate their professional and personal reputations under the constant glare of the public eye.
Interestingly, the episode also mirrored reactions to Salman’s broader career choices lately, including his recent participation on the show amid discussions about its fluctuading TRP ratings. Some viewers have even shared sentiments watching Bigg Boss 18, labeling it as the "worst, boring season" as ratings plummeted. With competition heating up as other shows gain traction, every moment of drama like this is undoubtedly important for keeping audience interest alive.
Meanwhile, the dynamic between Salman Khan and Ashneer Grover will likely continue to be dissected by fans and media alike, especially with social media threads discussing their confrontational exchanges varying from amusement, support, to outright criticism of both personalities. It just goes to show how every word spoken on such platforms—whether meant as satire or seriousness—can impact public perception significantly.
Salman’s mirror-back approach to Grover's earlier comments not only highlighted the contradictions but also revealed how prepared the superstar was to stand up against perceived slights. His refusal to let Grover's remarks slide showcases the enduring nature of celebrity debates. Who would have thought the entertainment world could provide such punchy dialogues with real emotional weight behind them?
Fans of both personalities are eagerly waiting for future episodes of Bigg Boss 18 to see how this exchange will impact their relations and what other contentious discussions will arise in the coming weeks. For now, the fiery exchange seems to be the highlight of the season, at least until the next big surprise hits the screens.
