Overview

• In interviews this week, Grover argued reality shows should prioritize contestants, noting weekend hosts appear briefly compared with those living the format.
• He did not name Salman Khan or Bigg Boss 19, yet multiple outlets characterized the line as an indirect swipe at the show’s weekend‑host model.
• Grover is hosting Rise & Fall on Amazon MX Player, a celebrity competition that divides participants into Rulers and Workers with shifting power dynamics.
• He has also said television is not his primary income source, claiming his business ventures, including roles in two unicorns such as BharatPe, earn far more.
• The renewed coverage references their earlier tensions from a Bigg Boss 18 appearance and a 2019 ad‑shoot anecdote to frame the latest remarks.
