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 sense of self and business – not a single thing demeaning said for him ever
– My deal numbers are always correct (bank / auditor verified)
– 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 😉 Thanks @BeingSalmanKhan. Keep rocking !”

What actually happened in the episode?
During the episode, Salman called out Ashneer for the controversial statements he had made earlier against him. Ashneer appeared on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast last year and spoke about being denied the opportunity to click a picture with Salman. When Ashneer apologized, Salman replied,
“I don’t feel bad about all these. It’s just that when you give a wrong impression to someone about a person, that’s not right. Later it will bite you itself.”
He added,
“I just got to know that you are coming. Mujhe toh aapka naam bhi nahi pata tha. Lekin jab aapki woh jo video dekhi thi toh aapke shakal mere saamne aaya tha (I didn’t even know your name. When I saw that video of yours, your face seemed similar). I’m just saying you should be careful with how you present yourself even when we are not there.”

You may be a good businessman. But you just lost your unapologetic brand value at the cost of this picture. This coverup is making it even worse. Bad deal.

Ashneer bhai, you became a known face only after the Shark Tank show. Otherwise we didn’t even know Bharatpe earlier.
Confidence is good, overconfidence is not. Mocking others to look cool is obviously bad.
It’s a learning lesson for us all ‘फेंकना बंद करो, मर्यादा बनाए रखो’|
