KKN Gurugram Desk | Entrepreneur and former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover has responded strongly to Salman Khan, months after his appearance on Bigg Boss 18. The reality TV showdown, which took place during a Weekend Ka Vaar episode in November 2024, saw Salman Khan calling out Ashneer for his past statements about the Bollywood superstar.

Now, in a recent event at NIT Kurukshetra, Ashneer Grover has hit back at Salman Khan, accusing him of creating unnecessary drama and picking a fight for no reason.

What Happened Between Ashneer Grover and Salman Khan on Bigg Boss 18?

During his Bigg Boss 18 appearance, Ashneer Grover was confronted by Salman Khan regarding a past statement he made about their previous meeting.

???? Salman Khan’s Allegation: The Bollywood superstar stated that he had never met Ashneer Grover before and that their meeting was held with his team, not him personally.
???? Ashneer Grover’s Statement: Ashneer had earlier claimed in a podcast that he had personally met Salman Khan during a brand endorsement discussion, where Salman’s manager refused to let them take a picture together.

Salman Khan, visibly frustrated, accused Ashneer of misrepresenting facts and said:
“The way you are talking now, you didn’t have the same attitude in that video. I do not feel bad, but it is wrong to give a false impression about someone.”

Ashneer Grover’s Response to Salman Khan’s Claims

At an event in NIT Kurukshetra, Ashneer Grover did not hold back, firing shots at Salman Khan’s version of events.

???? Ashneer Grover said:
“He created unnecessary competition by picking a fight. I had gone peacefully when I was invited. But just to create drama, he says, ‘Oh, I never met you. I don’t even know your name.’ If you didn’t know my name, then why did you call me?”

???? He also challenged Salman’s claim that they had never met, stating:
“If you were the brand ambassador of my company, it wouldn’t have been possible for you to become the face of the brand without meeting me. I ran my company ruthlessly. Everything had to go through me.”

With this strong rebuttal, Ashneer has made it clear that he believes Salman’s statements on Bigg Boss 18 were misleading and meant only for television drama.
