Ashneer Grover Reveals WHY He Has Unfollowed All The Sharks & Is Not Watching Shark Tank India 2

Shark Tank India, a phenomenal business-inspired show, has become the most talked-about show in recent times. The program is an Indian adaptation of the American reality television program Shark Tank. Despite its inconvenient setting, the show has captured the interest of the majority of Indians.

In the first season of Shark Tank India, which aired on Sony Entertainment Television, prospective business owners presented their ideas to a group of seasoned business professionals known as “sharks,” who were prepared to invest money, time, and expertise to help the firm succeed.

Those sharks are seven self-made millionaires from different parts of India who founded extraordinary companies and possessed significant stock holdings. While other billionaires haven’t drawn much or any notice, Ashneer Grover, the co-founder of BharatPe, has quickly gained popularity due to various reasons.

While many became fans of his expertise, his on-screen banter has inspired memes and gone widespread on social media. Despite the fact that the bulk of the press coverage he receives is unfavorable, the program has quickly elevated him to social media stardom.

Despite this, when the show got a second season, it didn’t feature Ashneer Grover.

Ashneer Grover’s position on the shark panel has reportedly been filled by Amit Jain, the CEO and co-founder of the CarDekho Group. Although his absence has made fans uneasy, he recently spoke up about his thoughts on it and the second season.

He claimed to have “dominated” the show while he was on it during a recent interview

Ashneer said during a guest appearance on The Ranveer Show Podcast that he created a Sony franchise worth Rs 10,000 crore and that he saw himself as a “builder” rather than someone who receives “rent.”

When asked if he planned to watch the show, he said he wouldn’t and that he had unfollowed all other sharks. He said,

“Nahi. Mereko lagta hai separation clean hona chahiye. Jab main Shark Tank mein nahi bhi tha, season two mein, jitne bhi sharks they, unko maine social media se unfollow kar diya. Yaar ab woh tumhari game hai, tum khelo. Main kyu har roz dekhun ke Shark Tank ki shoot pe behind-the-scenes kya chal raha hai? Ab meri life ka part hi nahi hai, toh main kyu past mein rahun? Jab se clear hogaya tha ke main season two mein nahi hoon, maine baaki sharks ko unfollow kar diya tha.”

Ashneer said that he doesn’t even watch the program

Despite the fact that his wife occasionally searches for updates. He claimed that in his opinion, he did a good job, and as a result, Sony is now resting on a cash cow.

“Jab tak tha, I had great fun. Pure show mein masti kari. Thankfully it was received well, pehla season hi kaafi successful hogaya. Mereko lagta hai, in some sense, I was a part of creating a Rs 10,000 crore franchise… I feel happy ke maine ek Rs 500 crore saal ki franchise Sony ko bana ke de di. Kyuki pehla season is the toughest season to crack.”

He added,

“Agar pehla season hi nahi chala, agli baari toh channel wale hi aapko slot nahi dene wale, bhool jao. Pehla chal gaya, ab aapka Rs 500 crore ka ad revenue har saal aa raha hai, aapka Rs 10,000 crore ka dhanda hai, aaj ki date mein. Woh bana ke de diya, usme mera nuksaan hua fayda hua koi matlab nahi hai.”

Earlier this week, the second season of Shark Tank India premiered. Many fans have commented on social media that Ashneer’s disruptive presence is missed, but the show’s “sharks,” Anupam Mittal and Namita Thapar, have vowed that “toxicity” and “humiliation” would not be tolerated this time, in what appears to be a subtle jab at Ashneer.
