BharatPe co-founder and former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover enjoys a big fan following on social media and is known for his blunt statements. Grover recently took to Twitter to make an appeal with the media after shedding 15 kgs. The entrepreneur requested the media to refrain from using pictures of his ‘older fatter self’ and also tweeted a picture of himself and asked publication houses to use it while writing about him.


“Press : You may write anything you get paid to write about me. I won’t complain. I have one request - please use this picture - nothing is more offensive to me than seeing my older fatter self after losing 15 Kgs ! I don’t even read the stories like most - visual appeal is imp !! [sic]" read the caption of the post shared by the entrepreneur.






Grover shared a picture of himself wearing a white T-shirt along with his wife who opted for a beige shirt and denims. 


Since being shared, the post has amassed 1.5 million views and tons of comments.
