A screenshot posted by entrepreneur Ashneer Grover on his Instagram has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. The controversial “Shark Tank India” judge claims he’s been invited as a wild card contestant on “Bigg Boss 19,” a revelation that immediately reignited his long-standing feud with host Salman Khan.
Grover, currently hosting “Rise & Fall,” shared an email purportedly from a “Senior Casting Coordinator” for Bigg Boss 19 on Friday, September 26, 2025. The email praised his “dynamic personality” and “unique appeal,” extending an offer to join the high-stakes reality show.
What the Data Reveals: A Sarcastic Spin
Ashneer Grover’s response was nothing short of classic Grover: dripping with sarcasm and a pointed jab. “Haha! Salman bhai se pooch le!! Mai to free ho jaaunga tab tak. Ye ‘mail merge’ kisi ki to naukri khayega,” he wrote, implying he’d be available and mocking the generic nature of the email.
However, the authenticity of this invitation quickly came under scrutiny. Sources close to the production raised doubts, suggesting the email might be fake. A key detail: the email mentioned “Banijay Group” instead of “Banijay Asia,” the actual producers of “Bigg Boss.” This, coupled with Grover already hosting a show for the same production house, fuels suspicion.
