In an interview with News 18, Ashneer without taking names stated, “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. (Brother you are coming on weekends. Those who are putting in hard work for 24 hours are the contestants.)”
He continued, “The balance of power has to go back to contestants and the content that comes out of contestants. Rather than it being hijacked by someone you know who comes over weekend.”

This isn’t the first time Ashneer Grover took a dig at Salman Khan. He had earlier talked about his meeting with the superstar to sign him as brand ambassador for his company.
Later, when Ashneer appeared on Bigg Boss as a guest, Salman Khan called him out over the same and unlike his off-screen personality, the entrepreneur was quiet in front of the superstar.
