From talking about approaching Salman Khan to unfollowing Mouni Roy; Times when Ashneer Grover's statement sparked controversies

The Bigg Boss Season 18 weekend ka vaar episode promises some interesting and controversial moments, with entrepreneur Ashneer Grover appearing as a guest on the show. The video of Salman Khan mocking Ashneer Grover has gone very viral on the internet. Ashneer, who is known for his outspoken opinions, was flabbergasted when Salman questioned his 'doglapan' and 'attitude'. Apart from that, the former Shark had been mired in controversies, here's a look at times when Ashneer sparked controversies with his statements.

Ashneer was invited as a guest to a college, where he discussed hiring Salman Khan as his brand ambassador for a campaign. He claimed that he had Rs 100 crore in the bank and planned to use the money to start a business. He also stated that he wants Salman Khan as a brand spokesperson. Later, he revealed that the star's manager had offered Rs 7.5 crore for the transaction. Surprisingly, Salman agreed to do it for Rs 4.5 crore. The entrepreneur then stated that his manager informed him, “Sir aap bhindi kharidne aaye ho kya, kitni mandawali karoge.” (Sir, have you come to buy vegetables, how much will you negotiate).

Grover also gained attention for his participation in the controversial reality show Bigg Boss. The entrepreneur revealed that he was approached for the show, but declined the offer. Furthermore, he stated that he would only do the show if paid more money than the host, Salman Khan.

In an interview, Ashneer admitted that he turned down Virat Kohli for a recent campaign. Furthermore, he confirmed that the cricketer quoted a large sum. However, he rejected him and obtained the remaining eleven members of the Indian Cricket Team for half the price suggested by Virat Kohli. Ashneer quipped, “Maine bola chalo, Virat Kohli ko le lete hain, aur usne ek amount boli. Abhi bolunga nahi, Virat Kohli bura maan jayega. Phir bola ke Anushka ko bhi saath mein le lo. Maine bola maine kaunse Mayavar ke lehenge pehnane hain aur sherwani bechni hai, woh Manyavar waalon ne kar liya hai. Maine bola koi aur player bata, woh bolta hai ke uske baad kisi ki aukaat hi nahi hai. Maine kaha ek kaam kar, jitne ka tu mujhe Kohli bech raha tha na, usko divide by two kar, aur iss number pe mujhe baaki 11 player laa de. Aur maine wohi deal kari phir, 11 player liye, Kohli divided by two ke number pe.”

In a fun chat with Amrita Rao and RJ Anmol, Ashneer revealed how he had to unfollow Mouni Roy. Recalling his fear of Madhuri, he remarked, "One day, I liked a bikini photo of Mouni Roy." I follow very few people on social media. There were hardly 60 people. She uploaded a bikini photo that I liked." Madhuri asks, "Kya aisi photo like karna banta hai?" Like, karna isn't a problem. "But she was wearing a bikini." Ashneer continued, "I noticed Madhuri is upset."

Ashneer also added, "Along with Mouni Roy 15-20 more accounts got unfollowed. Sonam Bajwa, and Disha Patani, all got unfollowed.” Madhuri added, “I didn’t tell him to unfollow. I mean imagine that means he has no self-control. You had to unfollow them because if you see them, you will like it?"

In one episode of Pretty Good Roast, Aashish Solanki had Ashneer Grover as a guest, and the show was broadcast live on YouTube. The Shark Tank India judge appears to have become quite offended and no longer wants to be affiliated with the show. Aashish attempted to modify a video by erasing Ashneer's name, face, and even a portion of his roast. Unfortunately, the altered video was also removed shortly afterwards. The footage from the episode later went viral on YouTube and Twitter. Aashish said, "TV pe log talent dikhahte aate hain; ye aukat dikhake aa gaya. Samajh gaye kiska baat kar raha hai main? What is the name of your company, yaar?"

The entrepreneur drew everyone's attention when the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) launched a fraud case against him and his wife Madhuri. They were suspected of being involved in a Rs 81 crore scam. This news surprised people throughout the internet. The case was brought against them for allegedly abusing business finances with forged paperwork. Nonetheless, Ashneer refuted all charges. According to the newest news in the case, the High Court has ruled that Ashneer and his wife Madhuri can again travel to the United States (they were previously barred from doing so), but not together.

Ashneer Grover appeared as a guest on the reality show Roadies 19, but his presence was not warmly received by the public. People on the internet were astonished to see him on the broadcast and left harsh comments. They asked Ashneer, "Ye konse line me aagaye aap."
