Solution 1

There are different ways to solve this issue.

1. You have a DataSet that you use as the data source for the data grid
In this case you can change the behavior of the column to return an empty string instead of DbNull

2. Change the code used to save the data
You are not showing your code but this an example of how to do it

Assuming Reason is the name of your column.

C#

string s = (dg["Reason", i] == null) ? "" : dg["Reason", i].Value.ToString());
da.Parameters("@Reason", s);

this is my code
private void insert()
{
for (int i = 0; i < dg.Rows.Count; i++)
{
string celValue = dg.Rows[i].Cells["Student"].Value.ToString();
int stdNo = da.fetchKeyStudent(celValue);
da.ProcName = "AddStudentsAttendance";
da.OpenDBConnection();
da.CreateCommandObject();
da.Parameters("@Date", txtDate.Text);
da.Parameters("@keyEmployee", int.Parse(txtEmployee.SelectedValue.ToString()));
da.Parameters("@KeyStudent", stdNo);
da.Parameters("@Present", Convert.ToBoolean(dg.Rows[i].Cells["Present"].Value));

da.Parameters("@Reason", dg.Rows[i].Cells["Reason"].Value.ToString());
da.Parameters("@UpdOperation", 0);
da.ExecuteNonQuery();
da.CloseConnection();

}

dg.DataSource = null;

Empty();
}

I updated my answer to reflect your code.

string s = (dg["Reason", i].Value == null)in this line of code same error
R/Sir if cell is empty then it gives same problem 'object reference not set to an instance of object'

Sorry. It should be
string s = (dg["Reason", i] == null)
My copy and paste error.
I have updated my solution.
