Ashneer Grover clarifies Bigg Boss 18 controversy.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Ashneer Grover, former Shark Tank India judge and entrepreneur, recently opened up about his memorable appearance on Bigg Boss 18 alongside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Known for high-voltage drama and controversial moments, Bigg Boss turned what Ashneer calls a simple compliment into a media buzzword. In a conversation with Zoom, Ashneer clarified his stance and reflected on his experience on the iconic reality show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey Turned My Compliment Into Controversy”<\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked if he would collaborate with Salman Khan again after the Bigg Boss 18 exchange, Ashneer stated that the situation was exaggerated. Speaking candidly in Hindi, he said, \u201cMerko toh kuch tha bhi nahi, maine toh us bande ki tareef ki thi. If you look at the video, you can tell me. Did I say anything wrong about him? Maine toh tareef ki thi. Woh show pe bula ke aap ne kuch controversy create kar di, kuch bol ke. Thik hai, yaar, maybe that\u2019s what they needed for the show at that point of time.”<\/p>\n

Ashneer emphasised that he held no ill feelings toward Salman, clarifying, \u201cI had no issues at all. In fact, I praised him. If you watch the video, you\u2019ll see I didn\u2019t say anything wrong about him. I was actually complimenting him. They brought me on the show and turned it into a controversy. Maybe that\u2019s what the show needed at the time, and that\u2019s fine.”<\/p>\n

No Hard Feelings, Future Collaborations Possible<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflecting on his previous work with Salman Khan, including selecting him as a brand ambassador, Ashneer explained, \u201cI liked the guy then, which is why I worked with him. As far as I\u2019m concerned, there\u2019s no love lost.” When asked if he\u2019d work with the superstar again, Ashneer responded confidently, \u201cYa, never say never.”<\/p>\n

Ashneer also addressed rumours about joining Bigg Boss as a contestant. He revealed that while he had been approached for the reality show, he politely declined. With his trademark humour, he added that he would only consider participation if the producers offered a deal higher than Salman Khan\u2019s remuneration.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ashneer Grover has now stepped into the reality TV space with Rise & Fall. Two episodes in, the show has piqued viewers\u2019 curiosity, though it doesn\u2019t quite deliver the freshness it promised.<\/p>\n

The concept draws inspiration from Bigg Boss 7 (2013), which introduced the Heaven and Hell twist. In that season, housemates were split into two zones\u2014one enjoying luxury, the other deprived of basic comforts. Tension arose from envy, constant comparisons, and clashes between the two sides.<\/p>\n

Rise & Fall adopts a similar framework but reimagines it as a high-stakes battle of Rulers vs Workers. The Rulers reside in a lavish penthouse with Rs 38 lakhs at their disposal, enjoying every perk and luxury, while the Workers struggle under harsh conditions, with no money or influence. Unlike Bigg Boss 7, which centered on comfort versus discomfort, this new format focuses on power versus survival. The Rulers control all resources, while the Workers must strategies, compete, and fight to climb the hierarchy and gain influence.<\/p>\n
