Bigg Boss 18: Salman Khan Terms Ashneer Grover as 'Double Standard, Remarks "I Have Never Met You"

The Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18 turned intense when Salman Khan confronted Ashneer Grover about past remarks he made during a podcast. The Bollywood superstar questioned the businessman for allegedly sharing false information about a brand endorsement deal.

As Ashneer stepped on stage, Salman started with a pointed remark, “You are known for your dialogue dogalapan,” to which Ashneer replied, “Reputation toh waisa bann gaya hai.” Salman then addressed the podcast where Ashneer claimed to have signed him as a brand ambassador. Salman said, “Mere baare me kehte huye suna hai and mere team ke baare me. Merit oh aapse kabhi mulaqat hui nahi.”

Ashneer tried to explain, “There was an agency involved,” but Salman cut him off, saying, “There was no agency involved. Mere log involved the. They don’t talk like this. Sab figures bhi aapne galat bataye. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai?” Salman added, “I have never met you. So what is this double standard?” Ashneer calmly replied, “Nahi sir, dogalapan nahi hai,” but Salman wasn’t convinced, stating, “Dogalapan hi hua na…because this conversation…we didn’t even meet before.”

Ashneer defended himself, saying there had been a meeting. Salman clarified, “No, not with you. There was a team. Aap bhi shayad honge wahan par. But aapke saath aisi koi baatein hui nahin meri.” Salman also remarked, “Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha.”

Ashneer insisted his words were misunderstood, saying the podcast had been misinterpreted. Salman acknowledged his current demeanor but stood firm about the past miscommunication.

For context, Ashneer had previously shared how he wanted Salman as a brand ambassador but lacked funds. Despite this, Salman agreed to a reduced fee of Rs. 4.5 crores, which Ashneer called generous and surprising. The exchange highlighted Salman’s demand for clarity and Ashneer’s attempts to clear the air, making the episode unforgettable.
