Salman slams Ashneer
Salman told Ashneer, “I have heard you saying a lot about me. You said, ‘That’s why I signed it.’ Her figure also gave me a surprise. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai (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)?”
Salman continues to confront Ashneer
Ashneer replied, “Aapko jo humne brand ambassador dia (The decision to make you brand ambassador), I think that was one of the smartest moves I made.” Salman added, “Lekin jis hisaab se ab aap baat kar ahe hani, woh jo maine aapka video dekha hai, yeh aapka attitude wahan par nahi tha (The way you are talking now, the video of yours that I saw earlier, this attitude wasn’t apparent back then),” he said.
Ashneer further explained that “maybe in the podcast, it didn’t come across correct”. The clip ended with Salman saying, “Lekin jaese yeh hai, yeh barabar aa raha hai (The way it is now, it is correct).”
Fans react Salman, Asheer chat
Several videos of their interaction were shared on social media platforms. A fan said, “Jii jii kar raha hai (He is saying yes yes).” “First time I have seen Ashneer scared and nervous like this,” a person wrote. “Doglapan (double standard) is personal,” read a comment.
“Shark ko aquarium se uthake katori mein dal diya bhai ne (He picked the shark from the aquarium and put it in a bowl),” said an Instagram user. “When an application meets the operating system,” said another fan.
What Ashneer had said earlier about Salman
Ashneer appeared on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast last year and spoke about being denied the opportunity to click a picture with Salman.
“We had sponsored him, got him to shoot, to brief him about the company. He sat with him for ten hours, his manager told him not to photograph the photo, sir, you are a little bad. Maine bola nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi (We kept him as a sponsor and I met him at a shoot to tell him about our company. I sat with him for three hours and his manager said that there will be no photos with him as ‘Sir’ doesn’t like it. Go to hell, why so much attitude,” Ashneer had said.
