Anupam Mittal recalls how Amitabh Bachchan reacted to his joke: ‘Main darr gaya’
Hindustan TimesShaadi.com founder and CEO Anupam Mittal, who is currently seen as one of the ‘sharks’ or investors on Shark Tank India, recalled meeting Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 13. Anupam appeared on KBC 13 last month along with his fellow ‘sharks’ - Ashneer Grover, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, Namita Thapar, Aman Gupta and Ghazal Alagh. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Anupam recalled his ‘badi galti ’ when Amitabh asked him to explain what Shark Tank India is all about. “Maine kaha, ‘Bilkul aapke jaisa hi hai, lekin aapko yahaan paise milte hai, wahaan pe mujhe paise dene padte hai.’ Bachchan saab kadak, unki nazar toh aap jaante ho, main darr gaya, maine kaha, ‘Maine kya keh diya, yaar!’ Phir woh has diye.” Shark Tank India gives an opportunity to budding entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to a group of self-made entrepreneurs and seek their investment.
