During a management college event, a former judge of Shark Tank India Season One was recently asked by a student if he had transitioned into a social media influencer after leaving the show. The student also made a comparison between the former judge, Ashneer Grover, and finance YouTuber Ankur Warikoo.  This comment did not sit well with Ashneer, who expressed that it was the most offensive thing anyone has said to him. He even went on to suggest that the student could abuse him or his relatives, but he did not want to be compared to Ankur Warikoo. Ashneer acknowledged that he has embraced social media and achieved great popularity as a result. He acknowledged that while anyone can create reels, not everyone will receive the same level of viewership. He declared, "Yes, I am an influencer."

Tom Sizemore, who played Private Ryan in "Saving Private Ryan," died on Friday at age 61. His bright star in the 1990s faded because of his own domestic violence and drug charges. On February 18 at his home in Los Angeles, the actor had a brain aneurysm. His manager, Charles Lago, said that he died in his sleep at a hospital in Burbank, California, on Friday.

Late in 2017, when the #MeToo movement reached its peak around the world, Sizemore was also accused of touching a Utah girl who was 11 years old on set in 2003. He said that the accusations were "very disturbing" and that he would never touch a child in an inappropriate way. No charges were made. Even though Sizemore had a lot of legal problems, he k...

Since it first aired on TV, Shark Tank India 2 has been in the news, sometimes for the funny banter between the sharks, sometimes for the sharks teaching the pitchers a lesson, and sometimes for the pitchers making the sharks think about their own problems. Six judges, or "Sharks," like Vineeta Singh, Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, Peyush Bansal, Amit Jain, and Namita Thapar, appear on the show. In one of the most recent episodes, Namita Thapar talked about a hard time in her life. Vikram Rajput, Sohan Sahu, and Chandan Prasad of Subhag HealthTech, the second pitcher, talk about infertility, the taboos around it, and how people don't talk about it freely.

They ask for Rs 50 lakhs in 1% equity and a valuation of Rs 50 crores. They also talk about how they got their business started and about their own lives. On the show, the produc...
