Ashneer Grover talks about not following Shark Tank India 2

Ashneer Grover who gained a lot of limelight for being one of the most unfiltered and at times, rude sharks in the first season is yet again making headlines with his statements. Recently in a conversation, the Bharatpe co-founder talked about his absence from the Sony TV show and also revealed that he unfollowed all the fellow sharks.

In his words, “I believe in clean separation. I unfollowed all the sharks on social media even when it wasn't decided that I won't be a part of the second season. It's your game now, you play it. Why should I be made to look at what you are doing behind the scenes on the sets of Shark Tank India 2? The moment I got to know I am not going to be there, I cut my ties.” He further added that, “I had fun till the time I was part of the show. I created a successful business for Sony TV that is worth Rs 10,000 crore.”

Furthermore, Ashneer was asked what stopped him from joining season 2 to which he replied ‘Though I am not saying that others are less. But I am a bit more, what to do? I dominated the show.’

Namita Thapar’s reaction to Ashneer’s statement

In a recent interaction, Namita Thapar who is one of the sharks was asked that what makes the second season of Shark Tank India a must watch. Reportedly, she took an idirect dig at Ashneer Grover and replied, ‘Bottom line, in season two, the toxicity is out, for good.’ Later, Anupam also said ‘Last time jo hua tha... Entrepreneurs ki bezzati kaafi hui thi, aapko woh nahi dikhegi.’

Vineeta Singh and Anupam Mittal talks about Ashneer Grover

In an interview with ETimes, Anupam Mittal and Vineeta Singh were asked if they are going to miss Ashneer Grover and if his absence will have any impact on the new season of Shark Tank India. Replying to this Anupam said, “This show is bigger than any of us, it is huge as I said earlier. It is bigger than any personality whether it is me, or anybody else. Nobody from us can make or break the show. The magic is in how we all come together, the magic is in the founders, the show, and is all about the pitchers, and entrepreneurship. It is not about me or any other Shark, it is about India.”

Whereas, Vineeta on the other hand said, "I am going to miss Ashneer Grover, I think he was good. But whatever happened was between him and the channel. The show is not going to have any impact. I feel season 2 is going to be phenomenal. And I believe that 'The Show Must Go On'."
