Anupam Mittal is actively promoting the forthcoming season of Shark Tank India. In a recent interview, the entrepreneur threw a sly dig at former Shark Ashneer Grover and made a surprising statement.
Anupam Mittal was speaking with Mashable India when he was given an old photo of the Shark Tank India 1 judges from their time on Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati. Ashneer Grover was among those depicted in the photo. Reacting to the photo, Anupam said, “Oh, this is from KBC. I know this photo is from Season 1 because some of the sharks aren’t with us. May their soul rest in peace.”
Recalling the KBC shoot, Anupam shared, “This was fun, this was the first time we were on Kaun Banega Crorepati. It was very intimidating for most of us as Mr Bachchan is the legend of our country and we have only watched KBC as fans. As the whole country has for the last decade or so. And then to be on the hotseat and Mr Bachchan calling us by our names, knowing who we are was really a dream come true for all of us. I think this was one of the highlights of our Shark Tank India journey for the last four years. It’s a nice memory that comes back. Very sweet one. ”
Ashneer Grover became a big name after appearing on Shark Tank India season one. His one-liners and forthright responses to pitchers piqued everyone’s interest. During the show, he was also seen reprimanding several pitchers. However, the entrepreneur was removed from the judges’ panel following season one.

This isn’t the first time the sharks took a jibe at each other. During an episode of Shark Tank India 3 in February of this year, Anupam responded to a pitcher who explained his firm offering anger management solutions. “Jisko gussa aata tha woh gaya (The short-tempered one has left),” said Anupam. Since then the sharks have had their cold war on.
