New Delhi: Ashneer Grover became well-known after participating in Shark Tank India's previous season as one of the sharks. During the recent annual fest of Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, the founder of BharatPe poked fun at the low viewership of the current season of Shark Tank India, specifically pointing fingers at Anupam Mittal. According to him, they are all still going through the "auditioning" procedure for sharks. A fan posted the video of Ashneer speaking on X.
Ashneer took a jab at Anupam Mittal during the college festival, saying in Hindi, "Mittal saab ki na umar ho rahi he… Dusra, gussa wala chala gaya. Ye toh fact hain na. Galat toh kuch nahi bola Mittal saab ne us tareeka se. Chala gaya… Tum sab toh thande hi ho sab. Tabhhi toh pehle season ka TRP dekh lo aur second, third season ka TRP dekh lo. Sab pata lag jayega (Mittal sir is getting old…. The angry one has left, that’s a fact. Mr Mittal hasn’t said anything wrong. You all are so cold. Check the TRP of the first season and those of second and third season, you will know).”
He further added, “Jo pehle season mein chala gaya woh tha GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), aur tum sab teesre season mein bhi ‘audition’ hi kar rahe ho shark banne ki (The one who left was the GOAT, but you all are still auditioning to be the shark).” Ashneer's comments earned loud cheers from the students.
Ashneer has made fun of the current season of the show on previous occasions. He posted the Shark Tank India Season 3 teaser back in November along with the caption, "Shark Tank 3 is ‘audition’ of sharks for Shark Tank 4 ! Life mein ek lesson hai - don’t change and make unnecessary problem of something which is already solved. Wish quantity solves for quality!”
The official Indian version of the US television programme Shark Tank is called Shark Tank India. In January of current year, Season 3 of the show premiered on SONY LIV.
