Salman Khan and Ashneer Grover Clash on Bigg Boss 18: A "Doglapan" Debate

The latest episode of Bigg Boss 18: Weekend Ka Vaar witnessed a fiery verbal clash between host Salman Khan and BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover. Salman called out Grover for his "doglapan" (double standards), a term made famous by the entrepreneur during his stint on Shark Tank India.

Salman questioned Ashneer about his past statements regarding the actor's fees for a brand endorsement. Referring to Ashneer’s 2022 comments, where he claimed Salman charged ₹7.5 crores and resisted fee negotiations, Salman said, “What is with the double standards? All your figures were wrong.”

Ashneer clarified his stance, stating, “Maybe in the podcast, it did not come across correctly.” However, Salman didn’t hold back, asserting that Ashneer’s tone in past videos was far different from his demeanor on the show. Salman also revealed that he was unaware of Ashneer’s name until the episode aired, adding, “Be careful about how you present yourself.”

In response, Ashneer took to LinkedIn to clarify his side. He reiterated his admiration for Salman’s hosting and business acumen, denied any derogatory remarks, and backed his deal figures with "bank/auditor verification." He also recounted their 2019 brand collaboration meeting and shared that he finally got a picture with Salman on the show.

The incident revisits Ashneer’s controversial claim about Salman’s manager refusing a picture during their earlier encounter, citing the actor’s discomfort. This time, however, the elusive snapshot became a reality, adding a light-hearted end to an intense confrontation.

Fans eagerly await the next developments in this unexpected Bigg Boss drama.
