Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is all set to take on entrepreneur and former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover in the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18.
Salman, he can be seen addressing Grover in his no-nonsense style, in a promo shared by the official channel of the show. The clip begins with the Dabangg actor welcoming Grover onto the stage before questioning him about some of the controversial statements he made in the past.
“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 dogalapan?)” Salman asks pointedly.
Trying to defend himself, Ashneer says, "Aapko jo brand ambassador kiya (I made you the brand ambassador), I think that was one of the smartest moves."
But Salman doesn't stop and continues to complain against him by stating, "Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha (This attitude you're showing now wasn't apparent back then)."
Grover clears the air, stating that his words were misinterpreted when he was a guest on a podcast.
For those unaware of the controversy, Ashneer had spoken about his run-in with Salman during an episode of the Vagehra Vagehra podcast last year when he had elaborately explained how he met the superstar.
Recalling the meeting, Grover had said, "Usko humne sponsor rakha tha, uske shoot ke liye mila tha, usko brief karne ke liye company ke baare mein. Teen ghante baitha tha uske saath, uske manager ne bol diya photo nahi khichwani, sir thoda bura maan jaate hain."
"Maine bola nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi (We wanted him to endorse our brand, I met him for the ad shoot and sat with him for three hours. His manager told me I couldn't take a picture with him because he might get irritated, and I thought, 'Fine, he can go to hell')."
This fiery debate is definitely going to be a highlight of the much-awaited episode.
