To recap, Ashneer Grover appeared as a guest on Bigg Boss Season 18, where he had a face-to-face encounter with Salman Khan. During this meeting, Salman Khan referred to Ashneer as “Dogla” (a term meaning two-faced or hypocritical in Hindi). The exchange quickly escalated when Salman expressed his displeasure about Ashneer’s remarks, prompting Grover to apologize to the actor on live television.

However, it seems that Ashneer wasn’t entirely done with the issue. In a recent video that surfaced, Grover addressed the Bigg Boss incident, which had become a subject of public attention. While he did not directly name Salman Khan, the context and his words made it clear who he was referring to.

Ashneer’s Response: Setting the Record Straight

During his speech at NIT Kurukshetra, Grover took the opportunity to reject Salman’s earlier claim that he didn’t even know Ashneer’s name. This statement by Salman had caused quite an uproar during their Bigg Boss interaction. Ashneer, however, refuted this claim by saying, “He created his own competition by creating useless trouble. I went peacefully when he called me.”

Continuing his response, Grover challenged the idea that Salman didn’t know him, saying, “Now to create drama, you tell someone, ‘Hey, I did not even meet you. I do not even know your name.’ If you do not know the name, then why did you call me?” He further added, “And let me tell you one more thing, if you were the brand ambassador of my company, then it is not possible that you became the brand ambassador without meeting me. I also used to run the company like a bastard. Everything was done through me.”

A Tense Relationship with Salman Khan

For context, Salman Khan had been the brand ambassador for BharatPe, the company Grover co-founded. This connection made their exchange on Bigg Boss all the more significant, as it shed light on the underlying tensions between the two. Grover’s latest remarks seem to indicate that he felt slighted by Salman’s comments, particularly about not knowing his name. Despite the apology he offered during the Bigg Boss incident, Grover’s more recent statements suggest he still holds strong opinions about the encounter.

Backlash and Online Reactions

As expected, Grover’s comments have sparked a wave of trolling, particularly from Salman Khan’s loyal fans. Many took to social media to criticize Ashneer for speaking out now when he didn’t stand his ground during their initial faceoff. One user wrote, “At that time, I had stopped talking,” implying that Grover was passive during the Bigg Boss encounter. Another comment read, “You are saying so much now, you should have said that much in front of Salman Khan then.” Others seemed to take issue with Grover’s tendency to speak publicly about matters he seemingly avoided in person, with one user writing, “This man only talks.”

Conclusion: A Continual Media Storm

Ashneer Grover’s relationship with Salman Khan continues to be a source of public intrigue. Despite the apology on Bigg Boss, it’s clear that the underlying tensions haven’t fully dissipated. Whether Grover’s comments are a genuine attempt to clear the air or simply another media stunt remains to be seen. One thing is certain, though – Ashneer Grover never shies away from expressing his thoughts, no matter how controversial they may be.

The saga between the entrepreneur and the Bollywood icon is far from over, and with both personalities firmly established in their respective fields, the drama is likely to continue captivating audiences.
