Maintaining his characteristic composure, Grover attempted to navigate the situation diplomatically, stating, “I think it was one of the greatest ideas to make you the brand ambassador.” However, Khan was quick to point out the difference in Grover’s attitude, noting, “This attitude you’re showing now wasn’t visible back then.”
