Ashneer Grover Slammed Over 'Doglapan' After He Forces Comedian to Take Down 'Roast' Video

On Sunday, comedian and Comicstaan 3-winner Aashish Solanki took to Instagram to announce that episode 5 of the ‘Pretty Good Roast Show’ had been removed from YouTube, seemingly to avoid a ‘legal battle’. He hinted at the same, stating, “Ep 5 of Pretty Good Roast hata diya hai doston. Legal battle ladne ka paisa nahi hai. Sab show pe laga diya tha (The episode has been removed, my friends. I don’t have money to fight a legal battle as I used up all of it to create this show).”

If the comedian Aashish Solanki is to be believed, Ashneer Grover, the man famous for roasting entrepreneurs on Shark Tank India, allegedly forced him to take down the clip where he roasted Grover himself. In the clip, Aashish reportedly roasted the former managing director of BharatPe, by saying, “TV pe log talent dikhane jaat hai, ye aukat dikha ke aa gaya. Samajh gaye kiski baat kar raha hoon main? Apni company se kaun nikala jata hai yaar (People show their talent on TV, he showed everyone his status. Which entrepreneur gets kicked out of their own company)?”

Fintech platform BharatPe removed Ashneer Grover from all positions in the company in March 2022. Since then, BharatPe has been fighting a court case against Ashneer Grover and his family members over alleged embezzlement of funds. Aashish touched upon this during his roast, and it seems his joke did not sit well with Ashneer.

As per a report by trendbullet.in, sources close to the production have confirmed that Ashneer personally requested the removal of his segment from Pretty Good Roast Show’s now-deleted episode. Aashish’s latest Instagram post hinted at the same.

However, a clip from the episode is being widely shared on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), and many are slamming Ashneer Grover, one of the guests, who asked his segment to be cut from the episode. “I love the work ashneer grover sir has done in business and everything but not being able to take some jokes which no one even means is jus a pitty I believe,” wrote one user. Another commented, “Making fun of others on Shark Tank and social media but can’t handle the heat when it’s directed at him, despite agreeing to the show’s terms.”

Aashish’s latest Instagram post hinted at the same. He wrote, “Ep 5 of Pretty Good Roast hata diya hai doston. Legal battle ladne ka paisa nahi hai. Sab show pe laga diya tha (The episode has been removed my friends. I don’t have money to fight a legal battle as I used up all of it to create this show).”

Thus, Aashish’s latest Instagram post elaborated on the situation: “The response of previous episodes led us to believe our audiences were ready for roast humour. However, it seems that some, especially those in power, are not quite there yet. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Stay tuned for the next episode, coming soon! Love, Aashish.”
