Former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover has finally reacted to the frenzy over his Bigg Boss 18 appearance alongside superstar Salman Khan.

In a recent chat, the 43-year-old businessman reflected on collaboration with the Dabangg actor during a Weekend Ka Vaar episode in November 2024.

Speaking to Zoom, when the entrepreneur was asked whether he would consider working with the superstar again, Ashneer said he had no issue at all. 

“Mereko toh kuch tha bhi nahi, maine toh us bande ki tareef ki thi . Did I say anything wrong about him? They brought me on the show and turned it into a controversy. Thik hai, yaar, maybe that’s what they needed for the show at that point of time,” he explained.

He also looked back at his earlier association with Salman, saying, “I liked the guy then, which is why I worked with him. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no love lost.” 

Notably, the controversy traces back to Ashneer’s comments on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast in 2023, where he mentioned being denied a photo opportunity with the Tiger 3 star. 

On Bigg Boss 18, Salman confronted him about the statement, clarifying, “Meeting was not held with you but with your team… You presented that we befooled you. This is wrong.”

Ashneer chose to remain silent at the time, later apologized to Salman. The exchange quickly went viral, fuelling online chatter. 

Despite the noise, Ashneer appears unbothered, as he re-enters the reality TV space with his latest venture, Rise & Fall, which is currently streaming on Amazon MX Player.
