Indian entrepreneur Ashneer Grover is known for his blunt and straight talk. He always makes headlines – sometimes for his social media posts and most of the time for his blunt, unfiltered opinions. But this time, he is not the one who made headlines; rather, it was his wife Madhuri Jain Grover who caught everyone’s attention during the reality show Lock Upp 2. The internet has also pulled Ashneer into the debate.
It all started when Madhuri opened up about a personal chapter from her life. Madhuri said that she and Ashneer once wanted to have a third child couldn’t succeed. Talking about family size, she said several wealthy families have three children, adding “Hum Do, Humare Do” doesn’t apply to everyone.
Madhuri claimed that when wealthy individuals have more children, wealth grows, but when poor people have more children, their poverty increases.
The video clip went viral on the internet like wildfire within hours.
A section of users termed her comments insensitive. While others said she ignored reasons why poverty exists, adding that she cannot explain such a complicated social issue in a single sentence.
As the backlash intensified, content creator Nalini Unagar decided to tag Ashneer Grover directly on X.
In a long post, she questioned why someone with a huge fortune needs so much wealth for just two children, specially if the individual believes that having more kids is what causes poverty.
She even suggested Ashneer to donate money to around 1,800 families.
Dear @Ashneer_Grover,
Your wife recently made a statement that if poor people have more children, poverty increases.
Please donate your ~₹900 crore wealth to 1,800 families, giving ₹50 lakh to each. Those 1,800 families could happily feed and raise their 3,200 children. Why…

Ashneer’s response was short and very much in his usual style. He wrote, “Bheek/chanda maangne ka tareeka thoda casual hai. Biwi ne gyaan de diya hai already… itne mein itna hi milega.”
In simple words, the entrepreneur joked that the request of the influencer sounded like a casual request for donations.
Meanwhile, the internet continued debating over what Ashneer’s wife had said, with many users felt the statement was unfair.
