Grover clarified his comments on LinkedIn and X, emphasizing that the figures he cited about Salman’s endorsement fee for BharatPe were accurate. He detailed their 2019 meeting and said, “Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss. I’ve always praised Salman’s business sense and never said anything demeaning.”
He also addressed the show’s invitation, noting that it was official, and shared his satisfaction with the episode’s high viewership. The controversy originated from Grover’s podcast claims about reducing Salman’s endorsement fee and being denied a photo with the actor at the time.
