Bigg Boss season 18 has kept audiences hooked to the television screens. The contestants are entertaining their fans with the daily dose of entertainment and fights. The former Shark Tank India judge and BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover appeared on Bigg Boss 18 in the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. The host of Bigg Boss Salman Khan grilled the entrepreneur and reminded him of the negative statements he had made against the actor in the past.
Ashneer Grover took to his X account and defended his choice to come on Bigg Boss 18. He shared a picture with Salman as he wrote, 'I hope you enjoyed the Bigg Boss Weekend Ka Vaar! I had good fun. And I am sure the particular episode got great TRP/viewership. BTW all of these statements are TRUE. Salman is a great host & actor. Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss. I've always praised Salman for his sense of self and business - not a single thing demeaning said for him ever'.
He continued, 'My deal numbers are always correct (bank/auditor verified). Met Salman in an exclusive meeting on the brand collab for 3 hours in May 2019 in JW Marriott Juhu - along with the director of ad (it's ok if he doesn't remember me - I was not a public figure then - he meets tons of people). The invite for coming as guest on Bigg Boss was not 'unnamed' - just like the cheque for the same. And finally I've a pic with him - which I didn't earlier. Thanks @BeingSalmanKhan. Keep rocking'.

For the uninitiated, when Ashneer was heading BharatPe in 2019, he had signed Salman Khan as the company's brand ambassador. Ashneer said on the Vagerah Vagerah podcast last year that he had convinced Khan to reduce his fees from Rs 7.5 crore to Rs 4.5 crore. He also revealed that Salman's team denied him a photo with the actor.
During the weekend ka vaar, when Ashneer apologized to Salman about his past statements, the superstar said, 'I don't feel bad about all these. It's just that when you give a wrong impression to someone about a person, that's not right. Later it will bite you itself.'
