Ashneer Grover, co-founder of BharatPe and a former judge on Shark Tank India, recently appeared as a guest on the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18. During the episode, host Salman Khan confronted Grover over past comments made about the actor. While Grover apologised to Khan during the show, he later addressed the incident in a lengthy post on social media.
Ashneer’s Response: “All My Statements Are True” Taking to social media, Grover shared a photo with Salman Khan and 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 my statements below are TRUE.”
Grover further clarified that he never made any demeaning remarks about Salman and has always admired his sense of self and business acumen. “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,” he added.

The Backstory: BharatPe’s Association with Salman Khan Salman Khan was previously hired as a brand ambassador for BharatPe when Grover was associated with the fintech company. Grover had shared anecdotes about working with Salman, including one where he negotiated Khan’s fee for an advertisement.
“Salman’s team initially demanded Rs. 7.5 crore, which I couldn’t afford. After negotiations, the fee was reduced to Rs. 4.5 crore,” Grover had revealed during a session at Lovely Professional University in 2022.
Another incident, which Grover mentioned on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast, involved Salman refusing to take a photo with him. Grover humorously recalled, “I sat with him for three hours, and then his manager said Salman doesn’t like clicking photos. I said, fine, I won’t insist.”
However, the recent appearance on Bigg Boss 18 gave Grover the chance to click a long-awaited photo with the Bollywood superstar.
While Salman Khan criticised Grover during the episode, it appears the two have resolved their differences, with Grover appreciating Khan’s contribution to BharatPe’s campaigns.
