Shark Tank India’s Ashneer Grover apologizes for belittling contractors: ‘Rs 20,000 crore jhuk ke maafi maang rahe hain’

Ashneer Groverone of the “sharks” or investors of the reality show shark tank india, apologized for getting carried away with the show’s aspiring entrepreneurs. Explaining during an appearance on the Kapil Sharma Show, he said he was traveling from Delhi to Mumbai for Shark Tank and he didn’t like people wasting his time or theirs.
Kapil addressed the subject of Ashneer’s temper on the show, to which the BharatPe co-founder said in Hindi, “Sometimes I get really angry. We take the time to be there, traveling to Mumbai from Delhi on a flight, and someone gives you a useless idea. How should I motivate them? All I can tell them is don’t waste their lives and do something else. I also told people to leave the samples they brought with them and not to take them home.
Jokingly, Kapil asked if the reason for Ashneer’s anger was that he made a bad deal with Sony. Ashneer knelt down and begged for a fake forgiveness. “I am using Kapil’s platform to speak to anyone who has been offended. Rs 20,000 crore kneel down and apologize here. He was referring to the net worth Kapil estimated for him. Kapil calculated the total net worth shark companies like Rs 1,10,875 crore. He joked that if the sharks were to be collectively kidnapped, the country’s GDP would drop significantly.
Shark Tank India is based on the original American show, which has been running for 13 seasons since 2009. It features a panel of “sharks” who pitch entrepreneurs, based on which they decide whether or not to invest in their businesses.
Kapil, meanwhile, recently made his stand-up comedy debut, with a Netflix special titled Kapil Sharma: I’m not done yet.
