The business tycoon Ashneer Grover has become a household name after he appeared in the first season of the business reality show Shark Tank India as audiences loved his candid approach towards the contestants and his witty one-liners as well.
However, he didn’t sign for the second season as he said that he got whatever he wanted from the show and it is time for a move-on. Since then, he has appeared in many interviews, podcasts, etc. and in one of the podcasts, he also revealed something interesting about his meeting with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
When he was asked whether he met Shah Rukh Khan, he said that he hasn’t met Shah Rukh yet but has met Salman. This is what he stated, “Salman Khan se mila hoon. Usko humne sponsor rakha tha, toh uske shoot ke liye mila tha. Shoot se pehle mila tha usko brief karne ke liye ki company kya hai. Toh teen ghante baitha tha uske saath, uske manager ne bol diya ki photo nahi khichwani hai, sir thoda bura maan jaate hain. Maine kaha saale, maine bola, nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad main ja tu. Matlab aisi kaunsi heropanti ho gayi” (I met Salman when I briefed him for a sponsored ad shoot. I sat with him for three hours, gave him brief about the company and then his manager told me that Salman will not take a photo with me as Sir doesn’t like it. I told him I won’t take a picture, you go to hell).
Ashneer also praised Salman Khan for his understanding of business and branding as he said, “Banda bohot smart hai. Matlab voh jo logo ko lagta hai na ki hawa main hai, banda bohot genuinely smart hai. Usko business samajhta hai, usko branding samajhti hai. Usko apni image clear hai kya hai.” (He’s very smart. People think otherwise but he’s genuinely very smart. He understands business and branding. He’s clear about his image).
Ashneer Grover further said, “Jab hum ad bana rahe the toh usne clear bol diya tha ki dekho, mere ko ka larger than life hi dikhana, kyuki maine picture bhi banayai thi Tubelight, voh pitt gayi kyuki mere ko usme mandbuddhi dikha diya. Aur voh janta ko pasand nahi aata.” (When we were making the ad, he clearly told us to portray him as larger than life. He said in Tubelight, he was portrayed as an unintelligent man and the audience did not like it, hence the film was a disaster).
