Ashneer Grover Opens Up On How His Life Has Changed After ‘Shark Tank India’

Everyone is aware of how well-known Shark Tank India has become in such a brief duration, and how it has sparked a turning point in India’s entrepreneurial sector. The popularity of the show has gone crazy on the internet.

Shark Tank India introduced us to entrepreneurs as well as business jargon that some of us were unfamiliar with prior to watching the show.

The judges, however, are still the finest part. The show showcased seven self-made Indian multi-millionaires as judges or Sharks who had invested heavily in successful businesses.

The fact that they are all behind some of the most well-known companies, we had never heard them before. This is precisely why they drew such fast and widespread attention.

Ashneer Grover, the co-founder of BharatPe, got a lot of attention, not all of it is positive

Ashneer is well-known for his direct and frank comments. He’d compliment the pitches he liked, but he’d also let the contestants know when their products weren’t up to par. This resulted in a slew of memes, media attention, and harsh feedback. He discussed how he cope with popularity and the drawbacks of being on television in an interview with Rohan Joshi and Sahil Shah.

30 Questions with Shark Tank’s Judges is a YouTube interview series hosted by Rohan Joshi. They’re amusing and entertaining to watch, and we receive a lot of behind-the-scenes information.

Ashneer Grover revealed in his interview that he receives harsh remarks on social media that he deletes. About this, Ashneer Grover told to Rohan Joshi,

“Abhi bhi raat ko chhup chhup main 3 baje uth kar gande comments ko delete maarta hoon.”

He admitted that he wasn’t familiar with the show’s concept because he hadn’t seen the original American version, and that he decided to wing it. He stated,

“Jo director tha woh mereko bhejte rehta tha, ke sir aap dekh lo ek baari. Maine dekha hi nahi. Toh jab main set pe bhi gaya na, mereko pata hi nahi tha ke kya karna hai. Mereko tha ke jaise ghar pe behave karte hain waise hi kar lenge. Aur apna paisa lag raha hai, toh thoko jaake. So, I was just being that. Jo director tha woh aake mereko bolta tha ke kuch edit karna hai toh bata diyo. Maine bola bhai main itna vella nahi hoon, ke pehle 12 ghante ki shoot karun, phir tere saath editing room mein bhi baithun. Meri bas ki nahi hai, tereko jo daalna hai daal de. Agar tu merese pooch raha hai ke kuch phatega toh main sambhal lunga. Tu woh tension mat le.”

It roughly translates to, “I kept getting footage from our director, but I never watched them. And because I had no idea what to do when I arrived on set, I decided to act as I do in real life. After all, I was going to put my money into anything, so I had every right to trash it. ‘Do I look like I have the time to shoot for 12 hours and then sit with you in the edit suite?’ I asked the director, who offered to edit some of the more aggressive moments. You are free to put whatever you wish. If there’s any negative fallout, I’ll deal with it.”

He also claimed that he used to seem ruder than he intended because he used to communicate in Hindi, which he didn’t filter.

He said,

“Mere saath problem kya hai ki mai Hindi bolta hu, toh ab Hindi mei koi filter nahi hai, jo hai so hai, bol diya.”
