The response suggested he may not be taking the offer too seriously, though he hinted at being free post Rise & Fall.
Past Equations with salman Khan

He was denied a photo with Salman.

Ashneer later fired back, saying salman created “unnecessary drama” and clarified that his words were exaggerated but not disrespectful.
