A new promo for *Bigg Boss 18*’s *Weekend Ka Vaar* episode, hosted by Salman Khan, has taken the internet by storm. This upcoming episode, set to air on Saturday, November 16, promises an intense exchange between the superstar host and entrepreneur Ashneer Grover. Known for his no-nonsense attitude, Grover is sure to face some tough questions from Salman Khan regarding his past comments and controversial statements, especially those about their previous professional interactions.
The promo clip kicks off with Salman Khan welcoming Ashneer to the stage. However, the pleasantries are short-lived as Salman quickly turns the conversation toward Grover’s infamous remarks. “Maine aapke baare mein suna hai ki aapne mujhe sign kiya tha. Sab figures bhi aapne galat bataye. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai? (I heard you talk about signing me and mentioning all the wrong figures. So what is this double standard?)” Salman directly confronts Ashneer. The remark refers to Grover’s past comments, where he had alleged discrepancies in their professional dealings.
Ashneer, never one to back down from a challenge, tries to defend his actions. “Aapko jo brand ambassador kiya (I made you the brand ambassador), I think that was one of the smartest moves,” Grover says, attempting to shift the focus to the positive aspects of his professional relationship with Salman. But Salman is quick to counter, pressing on: “Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha (This attitude you're showing now wasn’t apparent back then).” The sharp exchange highlights the underlying tension between the two, with Salman questioning the apparent inconsistency in Ashneer’s behavior.
Ashneer responds by explaining that his words during a podcast appearance had been misinterpreted. In the *Vagehra Vagehra* podcast, Ashneer had previously shared a detailed account of a meeting with Salman Khan, a meeting that had already become the subject of some controversy. According to Grover, during their initial discussions about endorsing his brand, Salman’s manager had insisted that no photos be taken with the actor, as it might upset him. This, according to Ashneer, led to his frustration, with him saying, “Bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi” ("He can go to hell, what kind of heroism is this?"). Ashneer’s candidness about the incident had drawn attention when he recounted it, sparking debates about Salman’s behavior and the often opaque world of celebrity endorsements.
But the history between Salman and Ashneer goes beyond this single encounter. In 2019, Ashneer signed Salman Khan as the brand ambassador for his company, a significant move for the young entrepreneur at the time. Grover revealed that when Salman’s team initially quoted a fee of Rs. 7.5 crore, it was far beyond his company’s budget. After carefully calculating the total cost, Grover realized that the final expenses would amount to nearly Rs. 20 crore. To make the deal work, Grover negotiated a reduced fee, eventually settling on a sum of Rs. 4.5 crore with Salman. Grover’s recounting of these negotiations reveals his sharp business acumen, but it also paints a picture of the complexities and challenges of working with high-profile figures like Salman Khan.
However, it’s not just about the brand endorsements. Ashneer’s previous comments about *Bigg Boss* have also made headlines. In a candid interview, Grover famously said that only “failed” individuals go on the show, adding that he would never appear unless he was paid as much as Salman Khan. “Only failed individuals go on that show, not successful people. I will never go on that show,” he boldly stated during a conversation with Red FM. Given his harsh stance, his appearance on *Bigg Boss 18* for *Weekend Ka Vaar* is set to be a major talking point, with many fans curious to see how Grover responds to Salman’s grilling.
The promo and Ashneer’s remarks suggest that viewers can expect a heated, unfiltered exchange between the two. Ashneer’s unapologetic and direct approach to business, coupled with Salman’s no-holds-barred style of questioning, promises a thrilling episode full of drama and revelations. This interaction is bound to add another layer of excitement to *Bigg Boss 18*, drawing attention from not just reality TV fans but also those fascinated by the dynamics of celebrity culture and business relationships.
As the episode draws closer, viewers are eagerly awaiting the showdown between Salman Khan and Ashneer Grover, knowing that their fiery exchange will add to the growing anticipation surrounding this season of *Bigg Boss*. With Grover’s bold personality and Salman’s trademark sharp wit, this *Weekend Ka Vaar* episode is sure to be one of the most talked-about events of the season.
