Ashneer Grover Reacts to His Latest Controversy with Salman Khan; Here's What He Said

Ashneer Grover has recently made an appearance on 'Bigg Boss 18' Weekend Ka Vaar. On the show, Salman Khan took a sharp dig over his famous ‘Doglapan' meme, questioning his alleged remarks about Salman's fees. Ashneer, visibly taken aback, defended himself, claiming the podcast was fake, and it didn't come out to be true, but Salman didn't let him off the hook. "Your attitude here is very different from the confidence in that podcast!" Salman said, leaving Ashneer flustered. Now, Grover has finally broken his silence on social media about the issue.

Ashneer's Statement on Salman Khan's Controversy:

He has shared a long note on LinkedIn. He said, "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 the statements below are TRUE: Salman is a great host & actor. Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss. I've always praised Salman for his sense of self and business - not a single thing demeaning said for him ever. My deal numbers are always correct (bank/auditor verified)."

"I Have a Pic With Him..."

He added, "Met Salman in an exclusive meeting on the brand collab for 3 hours in May 2019 in JW Marriott Juhu - along with the director of ad (it's ok if he doesn't remember me - I was not a public figure then - he meets tons of people). 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 (with no managers around). Thanks Salman Khan. Keep rocking!" 

About the Controversy:

For unversed,  earlier in conversation with the students of Lovely Professional University, Ashneer Grover recalled how he signed Salman Khan. He said, Mr Khan asked for ₹ 7.5 crore. When asked to reduce his fee, Mr Khan's manager allegedly said, "Sir aap bhindi khareedne aaye ho kya? Kitni maandvali karoge?” (Sir, are you here to buy vegetables? How much more will you bargain?)

Salman Khan brought up this statement on the show and said that the figures quoted are incorrect.
