Ashneer Grover was recently attending an event at NIT Kurukshetra and while addressing a room full of students, he called out Salman Khan for saying he “didn’t know his name” during Bigg Boss 18. He said,
“Faltu ka panga leke apna competition khada kiya usne. Main toh shanti se gaya tha jab mereko bulaya. Ab drama create karna ke liye aap kisiko bol do, arey main toh aapse mila hi nahi. I don’t even know your name. Abey naam nahi jaanta toh bulaaya kyun tha?”
He also said,
“Aur ek baat main bata deta hun. Tum agar meri company ke brand ambassador the toh aisa nahi ho sakta ki tum merese bina mile brand ambassador ban gaye. Mai bhi kamino ki tarah hi company chalata tha. Everything had to go through me.”
In 2023, Ashneer Grover appeared on a podcast and opened up about being denied the opportunity to take a picture with Salman. When Ashneer apologized, Salman lashed out at him during an episode of Bigg Boss 18 and 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.”

Salman Khan said,
“I just got to know that you are coming. Mujhe toh aapka naam bhi nahi pata tha. Lekin jab aapki woh jo video dekhi thi toh aapke shakal mere saamne aaya tha. I’m just saying you should be careful with how you present yourself, even when we are not there.”
Ashneer Grover’s Reality Show

Ashneer Grover will be featured as a host on Amazon MX Player’s Rise and Fall, a reality show where contestants are divided into Rulers and Workers. A sizzle reel for the show showed Ashneer introducing fans to a split house. The mighty rule in the top section, while the lesser ones dwell in the bottom. He promises a game full of rises and falls and lots of double standards (doglapan).
