Shark Tank India: When Aman Gupta compared Ashneer Grover with Salman khan
Shark Tank India fame Aman Gupta and Ashneer Grover are one of the most popular judges on the reality show.
The camaraderie between Shark Tank India judges Aman Gupta (BoAt co-founder) and Ashneer Grover (BharatPe co-founder) has often been witnessed on the show. The two bonded well over the business ideas pitched by the start-up entrepreneurs during the show. Interestingly, Aman once called the latter ‘bhai’ and compared him to Bollywood actor Salman.
It happened during the pitch of Manas Madhu, 36, who presented his start-up business company, Beyond Snack. The company makes hygienic and healthy Kerala Banana chips in four different flavours. He offered the investment of Rs 50 lakhs from the investor’s panel for 2.5 percent equity in his company.
Convinced by his company’s revenue and profit, Anupam Mittal (Shaadi.com) and Peyush Bansal(Lenskart) together decided to make an offer to Manas. Later, Ashneer and Aman also partnered on a separate offer for the company. While discussing the company’s actual figures with Manas, Anupam was interrupted by Aman. To which Anupam said, “ Apne Ashneer bhai bolke , pehle humko chhota bana diya. Ab toh ye(Manas) uska hi offer hi lega ”( By letting your dear brother speak first, you made us small. Now he will take only his offer).
Following this Aman quipped, “Do hi bhai hai ek Salman Bhai aur ek Ashneer bhai”(There are only two brothers, one Salman Bhai and one Ashneer Bhai). Listening to this, everyone was left in splits.
Meanwhile, the Shark Tank judges share a close bond together even after the reality show ended in February. A few days ago, Aman and Anupam visited Ashneer at his house. The trio poked fun at a recent controversy Ashneer faced when it was claimed that he spent Rs 1 crore on a dining table. Ashneer shared a series of pictures from their meet-up, wherein Aman and Anupam can be seen inspecting the table and wondering what is special about it.
