Watch This Before Chainsaw Man Reze Arc Hits India
When it comes to blending business brains with savage humor, nobody does it better than Ashneer Grover. The erstwhile Shark Tank India judge and former co-founder of BharatPe has again been trending on the internet—but this time, it is not for startups or funding pitches. Instead, it is for his unexpected connection with Bigg Boss 18, Salman Khan, and some fairly fishy-looking casting emails that invited side-splitting reactions.
On Friday, Grover bombshelled his Instagram stories by posting a screenshot of an email that was purportedly sent by the show’s “Senior Casting Coordinator.” The mail appeared quite professional in initial glance, stating that Grover had been selected as a wildcard contestant for Bigg Boss 18. His “dynamic personality, attractive social media following, and distinctive charm” due to which he was the right candidate for the mayhem-filled reality show were mentioned in the email.
But anyone familiar with Ashneer knows he wasn’t going to take it seriously. Rather than sharing a dry clarification, he did what he does best—made it content. With his classic sarcasm, Grover penned:
“Haha! Salman bhai se pooch le!! Mai to free ho jaunga tab tak. Yeh ‘mail merge’ kisi ki to naukri khayega.”
(Translation: Haha! Ask Salman Bhai! I’ll be free by then. This ‘mail merge’ thing might cost someone their job.)
And just like that Ashneer Grover’s post went viral.
Why Ashneer’s Bigg Boss Connection is Extra Spicy
This was not the usual random trolling moment. The background dates back to the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18 early this year when Grover had been a guest. What could have been a light-hearted cameo turned into an incendiary face-off when Salman Khan berated Grover for his previous comments regarding their 2019 brand collaboration.
For those who missed it—Ashneer had made a cut at an ad deal involving Salman, implying it wasn’t bringing much value. And let’s be honest, Salman isn’t the kind of guy to remain silent when his star power is called into question. On the episode, he educated Grover on live television, leaving both the audience and housemates in shock.
So here, when Grover sarcastically suggests approaching “Salman Bhai” prior to joining as a contestant, the shades of undertone become apparent. It’s not about an shady email alone—it’s about reviving that hanging tension with the Bigg Boss host himself.
Wildcard Entries: The Spice of Bigg Boss
In order to know how this story exploded, you should be aware of how wildcard contestants work in Bigg Boss. Each season, when the house is getting too predictable, makers introduce wildcards to disrupt house dynamics. These new contestants usually reignite new rivalries, intensify the drama, and even turn into favorites sometimes.
So when there was a rumor circulating that Grover could be entering as a wildcard, it was salacious enough for fans to lose their minds speculating. Picture Ashneer within the Bigg Boss mansion—flat-out roasting contestants, one-liners that cut sharper than the knives in the kitchen, and not tolerating any “time waste” activities. Although it’s not going to happen, just the idea is enough to become a trend.
Fans React: “Ashneer Grover in Bigg Boss = TRP Explosion”
The instant that Grover uploaded his sarcastic response, social media went ballistic with responses.
Some of his fans quipped that he would immediately be the “Shark” of the Bigg Boss house, doling out investments in exchange for fidelity.
Others pictured him uttering “Yeh sab doglapan hai!” each time housemates pretended to feel something for the camera.
Some even claimed that regular sightings of Salman and Grover on the same stage would be “fireworks waiting to happen.”
While everybody understood Grover was trolling, the meme factory did not care. In a matter of hours, Twitter and Instagram were flooded with funny edits featuring Grover as the “most savage wildcard ever.”
The Emergence of Ashneer Grover as a Pop-Culture Icon
It is also interesting to note that Grover is not merely a businessman anymore. Now he is a full-fledged pop-culture personality. Since his rude and unapologetic demeanor on Shark Tank India made him a meme sensation. Grover has remained in the limelight outside of startups.
His phrases such as “doglapan” and “yeh sab bevakoofi hai” have become part of internet jargon now.

Could Grover Actually Join Bigg Boss Someday?
Although the current mail was clearly a spam or fan-pranking assignment, the idea of Ashneer Grover in Bigg Boss house isn’t that far-fetched. Reality television thrives on controversy, boldness, and surprise factor—all the domains Grover comfortably inhabits.
In real life, Bigg Boss has also hosted frequently celebrities from other, less obvious backgrounds—politicians, cricketers, musicians, and even businesspeople. Having an Ashneer on the team would not only present a new flavor but also usher in an entirely new set of startup enthusiasts.
But knowing what Grover’s agenda is currently, from writing books to running personal businesses, it is unlikely that he’ll end up actually saying yes.
Conclusion
Ashneer Grover has a humorous and direct personality which is what appreciated by the audience. He is clever enough to know how to make even a spam mail into meme-worthy entertainment. Even if he never steps into the Bigg Boss house still one thing is certain—his name itself is enough to create drama, laughter, and never-ending memes.
And let’s be honest if he ever does say yes to such an invite, it won’t just be a wildcard entry—it’ll be a game-changer for Bigg Boss TRPs.
