MUMBAI: One of the most unusual success stories in Indian television has been Shark Tank India. Shark Tank India is a business reality television program that is shown on Sony Entertainment Television in India. The program is an Indian franchise from the United States. It depicts business owners giving pitches to a group of sharks or investors, who determine whether to fund their enterprise.

The concept is such that a group of potential investors known as "Sharks" are featured on the show and listen to entrepreneurs pitch their ideas for new ventures or products. These self-made millionaires make decisions about whether to invest their own funds to coach and market each competitor after evaluating the business ideas and products provided. The host of the first season was Rannvijay Singha.

Sony TV is scheduled to air the second season of Shark Tank India soon.

The Sharks of season 1 included Ashneer Grover, Ghazal Alagh, Vineeta Singh, Anupam Mittal, Peyush Bansal, Namita Thapar and Aman Gupta.

Sony has released the season 2’s promo and shark Ashneer Grover is visibly absent from it. Netizens seems to be furious at his absence, since he had a huge fan base after the first season. His one liners and witty humor made the show all the more livelier. Grover was also in the news recently for losing 10 kgs body weight and posted pictures on his social media page, where he is active and has a huge fan following.  

Fans seem to be agitated at not seeing Ashneer on the show. One user commented on the promo, “We want ashneeeerrrrrrrr.... Sony yeh sab dogla pan hain..mein abhi tumhara doglapana nikal ti hoon.... Ashneeerrr ko laaaooooo.”

Another user commented, “Ashneer is one of the main reasons the first season was a success. Without him it's not the same.” 

Another one wrote, “Sony- kya kar Raha hai yar tu? Ashneer kaha hai?” 

Meanwhile Amit Jain, founder of Car Dekho has replaced Ashneer as one of the sharks. Reportedly Ashneer was removed from the show after his accusations of using the funds of BharatPe in an inappropriate way. After his wife Madhuri Jain Grover was sacked from her job, Ashneer too put in his resignation from BharatPe.
