Speaking of the same event, Grover recently shed more light on the event. For the unversed, Ashneer recently appeared in Vagehra Vagehra podcast, where he also spoke about youngsters while commenting on his exit from Shark Tank India. When the host asked about his meeting with Salman, Ashneer said, “We wanted him to endorse our brand, so I met him for the ad shoot and sat with him for three hours. His manager told me that I couldn’t get a picture with him because he might get irritated, and I thought, ‘Fine, he can go to hell’.”

As the conversation progressed further, Ashneer went on to praise Salman’s business acumen and said that most stars at his level are very intelligent about brand identity. He asserted, “He’s a smart guy. People might think he’s aloof, but he understands his image. The only thing he told us was to show him as larger-than-life, because his film Tubelight, in which he played a simpleton, had recently flopped.”

Meanwhile, as mentioned earlier, he also briefly touched upon his exit from Shark Tank India 2. He stated that he dominated season 1, and implied that a deal couldn’t be struck for his return.

Talking about the TV show Shark Tank India 2, hosted by Rahul Dua, brings back Anupam Mittal, Aman Gupta, Peyush Bansal, Namita Thapar, and Vineeta Singh.
