Recently, a pitcher Vibhuti Arora, who participated in the show shared her experience inside the tank. Founder of House of Beauty said that her experience wasn¡¯t as great as she would have expected and she had to hold back her tears during her pitch.

Arora, a face yoga expert, couldn't secure any investment during her appearance.

Citing her disappointment on the same, she shared how the sharks weren¡¯t welcoming.

While speaking to Ayushman Pandita on his podcast, she said, ¡°What was depicted on the show appeared pleasant, but the reality was far more challenging. I felt a sense of frustration as Vineeta reiterated the same points repeatedly, particularly criticizing my packaging. However, I was not allowed to voice my perspective. As a bootstrapped entrepreneur seeking assistance, I expected a collaborative dialogue. If I had everything sorted out already, I wouldn't have sought their guidance."

¡°It was very difficult for me to control myself from crying at one point. I just wanted to run away from Shark Tank. I didn't want to cry on national television. Vineeta kept asking me what the differentiator in my products is," she further said.

"I was not calm on the show. I was so scared. I felt like I was in a cage and I wanted to get out. Initially, I thought I would manage to get funding from there. But later, I figured that I was not going to get anything out of this, I only had to keep defending myself. After the pitch, I had a blackout. I got anxious that time," she continued.

"She's absolutely right and as an audience I did watch that episode and it was very clear that vineeta was getting jealous of her . I did also comment briefly in that episode," said a user.

A user said, "By seeing the pitch of her brand, I can say that she is trying to boast and be defensive about her brand. Because she haven't got a deal there, now she is trying to gain sympathy. Think about the pitch of glass ka mask and fruit ripening detector, Bummer where ashneer heavily roasted these brands."

¡°Vineeta is only searching and pointing out the defects and problems," wrote a user.
