Overview

• Ashneer Grover posted a screenshot of an email inviting him to join Bigg Boss 19 as a wildcard, purportedly from a 'Senior Casting Coordinator' named Rohit Gupta.
• He responded with a jibe referencing Salman Khan and mocked the apparent mass-mail format, also positioning his show Rise and Fall as a competitor.
• India Today cited production-related sources who called the message fake spam and said no staffer by that name exists, noting such invites are not issued that way.
• Several outlets reported that the authenticity of the email remains unverified, and Grover later deleted his X post sharing the screenshot.
• As of the latest reports, the makers of Bigg Boss and Salman Khan have not issued a public comment on Grover’s claim.
