Ashneer Grover recently appeared on the reality show Bigg Boss 18. Salman Khan, the show’s presenter and Bollywood actor, lambasted Grover, who was also a judge on the inaugural season of Shark Tank India, over the unstable entrepreneur’s inflammatory words regarding the superstar.

During this argument, Salman informed Grover that he had heard the latter talk about him and accused the ex-Shark Tank India judge of doglapan (double standards). “I overheard you talk about me. You said, ‘We signed him for this much.’ You also offered incorrect figures. So, what is the double standard?” Salman asked.

Ashneer responded in an uncharacteristically demure manner. Grover added that appointing Salman Khan as brand ambassador was one of his greatest decisions.

Salman went on to explain: “The way you are talking now, the video of yours that I saw earlier, this attitude wasn’t apparent back then.” Grover then stated that “maybe in the podcast, it didn’t come across correct.”

At the end of the video, Salman states, “The way it is now, it is correct.” Videos of their meeting went viral on social media, with users claiming Grover was terrified throughout the encounter with the Bigg Boss host.

“Haven’t seen him this scared ever,” a social media user wrote. Another one wrote, “Well now, Ashneer will realise how it feels being a Shark Tank contestant. I’m loving this.” A user also wrote, “He said similar lies about other celebs like Salman, Virat-Anushka, etc. Don’t like him at all.”

“Wow!!!!! Yeh kya hain. I can’t believe Ashneer is losing all his respect by coming on to such shows. He said Salman ko humne itna paisa diya tha pata nahin kya kya. Lol Salman never forgets nor forgives,” a Twitterati mentioned. “I have never seen Ashneer so humble so ‘haanji’ ‘sir’. This is actually hilarious. Why did he even go there what was he thinking (sic),” yet another netizen penned.

“Aukaat yaad dila di bhai ne.” Another comment read, “Yrr gajab Khushi hhi dekh ke. But it’s hard to believe ki actual hoga. Pakka mazak me bol rahe honge bhaiii. :(” “Man bhoi just intimidated ashneer , ashneer needed to be humbled and bhoi is there to help,” added another fan. A user also wrote, ” Ashneer ki toh salman ne sari doglapanti nikal di ek minute me.”
