Overview

• On September 26, Ashneer Grover posted a screenshot of an email inviting him to enter Bigg Boss 19 as a wildcard contestant.
• He quipped, “Salman bhai se pooch le,” and suggested he would be free by then, while teasing that his show Rise & Fall has become competition.
• Reports caution that the email’s authenticity has not been independently verified and describe it as a mass-mailed “mail merge” outreach.
• Grover reshared the screenshot on Instagram Stories, and a tweet he posted about it earlier in the day is now unavailable.
• Coverage notes the exchange sits against a documented Bigg Boss 18 confrontation with Salman Khan and Grover’s recent critiques of superstar-led reality formats.
