Shark Tank India 2: Namita Thapar schools a founder for weight loss business; Says ‘Gussa jaise aa jata hai’

Since Shark Tank India returned for season two, it has been making the rounds on social media. The theme of the show is based on the participation of aspiring entrepreneurs from India who pitch their business models to investors or a panel of judges and convince them to invest in their ideas. Well, all 6 Sharks including Peyush Bansal, Anupam Mittal, Amit Jain, Namita Thapar, Vineet Singh and Aman Gupta have been making headlines for their decisions and scrambling for the pitch. In the latest episode, we'll see Namita Thapar lash out at a founder who promotes unhealthy ways to lose weight.

Shikha Aggarwal talks about her unique concept

In a recent promo shared by the channel's official website, Shikha Aggarwal can be seen telling Sharks about her “unique concept” of losing weight without exercising. She is quoted as saying, ‘When I was fat, my energy and confidence were low. With diet, you can have soup and salad, I'm a mom, and you have a busy schedule. So, this is impossible. I was researching diet and nutrition and started following this unique concept and the results are here. I lost weight without exercising. While Aman Gupta seemed impressed by her vibrancy, with Vineeta Singh praising her saying: “Aap sach mein bahot dhamakedaar ho)”, judge Namita Thapar was unimpressed. Watch the video:

Namita Thapar slams founder

Namita Thapar, who is facing weight issues herself, disagrees with the concept of Shikha and the use of the word “start over”. She told her, “Yeh jo aapne word use kiya hai na ‘restart', isi mein problem hai. Ye jo aap bata rahi hai na usse mein fundamentally agree nahi kar rahi hoon, ki no exercise… humare saath aate hain, restart karte hain …let’s spread the message ki weight loss ek lifestyle change se hota hai…aur hum diabetes capital, blood pressure capital ban rahe hain because log ye sab gimmicky cheesein kar rahe hain aur apne health ke saath mess kar rahe hain. Toh mujhe ye sab sunke thoda sa, I'm sorry but gussa jaise aa jata hai. I think we need to stop misleading the country because my reasons are out.” Check out this video:
