Shark Tank India: Ashneer Grover Slams Anupam Mittal For ¡®Angry¡¯ Remark, Calls Himself ¡®GOAT'

Reality show Shark Tank India¡¯s popularity is soaring with every passing season. The OG season one which premiered in 2021 had BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover making his presence felt as one of the sharks on the panel. While he never returned post the first season, he often makes headlines in context to the show.

Be it bashing the other Sharks or vice-versa, Grover still maintains the title of one of the most-loved sharks in the history of Shark Tank India.

Shark Tank India Season 3 is currently underway and Ashneer Grover found yet another mention in one of the recently aired episodes.

Why Was Ashneer Grover Mentioned In Shark Tank India Season 3?

A unique pitch was made by a founder. A young founder presented an anger management concept called ¡®The Rage Room¡¯. Before beginning his pitch, the presenter interacted with the judges and asked them if they ever had anger issues.

Without wasting a breath, Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal took a jibe at his former-colleague and Shark Ashneer Grover when he made a reference to him. He said, "Whoever used to get angry is gone". This sly dig left Sugar Cosmetics founder Vineeta Singh and Emcure CEO Namita Thapar in splits. Anupam apologized soon after and laughed.

Ashneer Grover Didn¡¯t Let This Comment Slide And Had A Fiery Reaction To it

Ashneer was at ¡®Unwind¡¯ - the 10th edition of E-Summit 24 organized by Thapar Institute Of Engineering And Technology and was seen interacting with students. It was here that he took a jibe at Anupam Mittal for his ¡®angry¡¯ comment and said, ¡°Mittal saab ki, na, umr ho gayi hai! (Mr. Mittal, you see, has gotten old)".

However, He Did Agree With Mittal Calling Him The ¡®Angry One¡¯

Ashneer said what Anupam said about the ¡®angry one¡¯ leaving the show was a ¡°fact".

¡°Mr. Mittal did not say anything wrong. Tum log to thande hi ho saare (You all are boring). Check the difference of TRPs between Season 1 and the other two. You¡¯ll know that it was getting popular because of the ¡®angry man¡¯," he said.

¡°I want to say one more thing to Mr. Mittal - The one who left after the first season was GOAT (Greatest of All Time)," he added.

Ashneer commented not just on Anupam Mittal but also made remarks about Namita Thapar. Grover mentioned that the Sharks in the show were still in the "auditioning" phase.

¡°It's amusing to observe that whenever someone feels insecure on Shark Tank, they invariably resort to the same strategy: making a remark about Ashneer. You¡¯ll get the publicity. Namita did it in the second season. Now, Anupam is doing it. These two are the most insecure ones," he said amid a cheering crowd.

Why Ashneer Grover Didn¡¯t Make It Past Season 1?

In an interview with Red FM, Ashneer was asked if the reason why he isn¡¯t involved with season two of Shark Tank India is because they couldn¡¯t ¡®afford¡¯ him.

He replied with a laugh, ¡°Afford sirf paise se nahi hota, aukaad se hota hai.¡±

Ashneer was then asked if he was approached to appear on the reality show Bigg Boss. He said, ¡°You will never see me on that show¡±. When asked why, Ashneer continued, ¡°Failed individuals go on that show, not successful people¡­ There was a time when I used to watch the show, but I feel it¡¯s become stale now. They approached me, I said sorry, not happening.¡±

Ashneer stated firmly that he would not participate in the show under any circumstances. However, he mentioned that he might reconsider his decision if he were offered a higher compensation than the show's host, Salman Khan.
