What Did Ashneer Say About Salman?
At the NIT Kurukshetra event, Ashneer suggested that Salman unnecessarily tried to create rivalry. He stated that he had gone on the show peacefully but was targeted unfairly. He also questioned why he was invited if Salman truly didn’t know his name, pointing out that the actor had worked as a brand ambassador for his company.
He also added that he went on the show by maintaining peace when he was invited to the show. Ashneer further claimed that one shouldn’t say that they never even heard the former’s name or never met him, just for the sake of creating drama. He questioned being invited to the show when the host didn’t even know his name.
Uorfi’s Previous Clash with Ashneer
This isn’t the first time Uorfi has confronted Ashneer. In 2023, after an FIR was lodged against Ashneer and his wife, Madhuri Grover, over an alleged ₹81 crore fraud, Uorfi took the opportunity to remind him of his past comments on her fashion choices.
Ashneer had previously mocked Uorfi, saying:
“Kaun bandi hai woh Uorfi Javed, kya naam hai uska? Celebrity toh woh bhi hai. Kabhi woh jeans neeche pehne ki jagah upar pehen ke aa jayegi. Toh uska koi matlab nahi hai.”
In response, Uorfi shared the fraud case report with the caption:
“Inka ‘core’ hai ‘crore’ ka fraud karna, tabhi toh yeh celebrity hai.”
