Ashneer Grover and Salman Khan have had public differences in the past, with both expressing dissatisfaction with each other’s behavior. While Salman Khan hosts Bigg Boss 19, Ashneer Grover is now hosting a new reality show called Rise and Fall. Recently, while discussing his show, Grover indirectly criticized Salman Khan.
Without naming Salman or Bigg Boss 19, it was clear he was referring to the actor and his reality show. “Reality shows have to be about contestants. Fortunately, or unfortunately, in India we have had a very big show which has had a very big superstar. And therefore, it’s become more about him than the contestants right. But the fact is, who is putting in the hours? Bhai aap to ek weekend mein aa rahe ho. Jo 24 ghante lage hain woh to contestant lage hue hain,” Ashneer told News18. “The balance of power has to go back to contestants and the content that come out of contestants. Rather than it being hijacked by someone you know who comes over weekend,” he added.
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 statements below are TRUE:
– Salman is a great host & actor
– Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss
– I’ve always praised Salman for his… pic.twitter.com/HH0iOzzZY3

The tension began when Ashneer, in a previous interview, shared an incident involving Salman Khan. He said they met during a sponsored ad shoot, where Salman’s manager refused to let Ashneer take a photo with the actor. “Salman Khan se mila hoon. Usko humne sponsor rakha tha, toh uske shoot ke liye mila tha. Shoot se pehle mila tha usko brief karne ke liye ki company kya hai. Toh teen ghante baitha tha uske saath, uske manager ne bol diya ki photo nahi khichwani hai, sir thoda bura maan jaate hain. Maine kaha saale, maine bola, nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad main ja tu. Matlab aisi kaunsi heropanti ho gayi,” Ashneer said.

In 2024, when Ashneer appeared as a guest on Bigg Boss 18, Salman Khan confronted him about his past controversial statements. Salman seemed to mock Grover and advised him to be cautious about his words and public image. “Meeting was not held with you but with your team. Maybe you were also present there. We have not had any discussions. I saw what you said. You presented that we befooled you. This is wrong. Those numbers were wrong,” Salman said. Grover apologized to Salman, stating he did not mean to disrespect him.
