Mumbai: Ashneer Grover of Shark Tank India fame, who was slammed by Salman Khan on the Bigg Boss 18 ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’, took to his X handle on Monday to state that he was not wrong.
The former Shark Tank India judge praised the ‘Bigg Boss’ host and, at the same time, reiterated that whatever he said about the deal with Salman on his podcast was true.
Ashneer also said that the episode was scripted for fetching maximum TRPs.
Sharing a picture from the Bigg Boss episode, Ashneer wrote, “I hope you enjoyed the Bigg Boss weekend ka vaar ! I had good fun. And I am sure the particular episode got great TRP / viewership. BTW all of statements below are TRUE:
– Salman is a great host & actor
– Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss
– I’ve always praised Salman for his sense of self and business – not a single thing demeaning said for him ever
– My deal numbers are always correct (bank / auditor verified)
– Met Salman in an exclusive meeting on the brand collab for 3 hours in May 2019 in JW Marriott Juhu – along with the director of ad (it’s ok if he doesn’t remember me – I was not a public figure then – he meets tons of people)
– The invite for coming as guest on Bigg Boss was not ‘unnamed’ – just like the cheque for the same 😉
And finally I’ve a pic with him – which I didn’t earlier 😉 Thanks @BeingSalmanKhan. Keep rocking !”

During the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ show, Salman confronted Ashneer over his statements about meeting him and signing him for an ad shoot.
When Ashneer apologised, Salman replied, “I don’t feel bad about all these. It’s just that when you give a wrong impression to someone about a person, that’s not right. Later it will bite you itself.”
“I just got to know that you are coming. Mujhe toh aapka naam bhi nahi pata tha. Lekin jab aapki woh jo video dekhi thi toh aapke shakal mere saamne aaya tha (I didn’t even know your name. When I saw that video of yours, your face seemed similar). I’m just saying you should be careful with how you present yourself even when we are not there,” Salman added.
