Bollywood superstar Salman Khan confronted entrepreneur Ashneer Grover during an event over comments the latter allegedly made in the past. The exchange, captured on video, has since gone viral, with fans and viewers dissecting every word. Salman called out Ashneer for allegedly having a different tone in his public statements versus their in-person meeting, leading to an intense yet lighthearted exchange between the two.
The Confrontation: Salman Khan Questions Ashneer’s “Double Standards”
During their interaction, Salman Khan didn’t hold back. Referring to a clip he had seen of Ashneer Grover speaking about signing Salman as a brand ambassador, the Bollywood icon said:
“Maine aapko mere baare mein kehte huye suna hai kuch. Aapne kaha ki, ‘Humne toh isko itne mein sign kardiya’. Uska figure bhi aapne galat de diya. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai?”
This statement roughly translates to Salman questioning Ashneer about his “double standards,” accusing him of giving incorrect details about their collaboration and questioning why his tone had changed in person compared to his earlier remarks.

“Maine aapko ambassador banake smartest kaam kiya hai.”

Memes, debates, and fan interpretations have flooded platforms like Twitter and Instagram, making the clip one of the most talked-about moments of the week.
