Salman Khan tells Ashneer Grover, "I heard you talking about me. You said, 'We have signed him for this much'. You also gave the wrong figures. So what is this double standard?" to which the former Managing Director and co-founder of BharatPe replied, "The decision to make you brand ambassador was one of the smartest moves I made."

Salman continued, "The way you are talking now, the video of yours that I saw earlier, this attitude wasn't apparent back then," to which Ashneer explained, "Maybe in the podcast, it didn't come across correct."

Salman concluded by saying, "The way it is now, it is correct."

What Ashneer Grover said about Salman Khan

In 2022, Ashneer, who was at a college event recalled signing Salman Khan as a brand ambassador in 2019. He shared, "When I approached Salman's team, they told me that they would charge Rs. 7.5 crore, that's when I started calculating. I had Rs 100 crore, I will give him Rs 7.5 crore, I will spend another Rs 1-2 crore on making the ad and I should also pay to the broadcasters, it's a Rs 20 crore expense and I have Rs 100 crore. I didn't know if I would get another round of investment, so I told Salman to decrease his price, and he agreed to do the ad for Rs 4.5 crore."
