From reportedly forcing comedian Aashish Solanki to remove the roast video on him to the Rs 81 crore fraud case: Top controversies of Shark Tank India’s Ashneer Grover

Ashneer Grover has once again hit the headlines for allegedly forcing comedian Aashish Solanki to remove the roast video on him. Ashneer earlier agreed to be a part of the episode. However, later asked the comedian to delete it. Over the years the Shark Tank India fame has been a part of several controversies. There has also been a new development in the Rs 81 crore fraud case with HC reportedly agreeing Ashneer and his wife Madhuri to travel to the US but not together. Here’s a list of the top controversies.

In the latest episode of Pretty Good Roast, Aashish Solanki had Ashneer Grover as a guest, and the show was live on YouTube. It seems like the Shark Tank India judge got really upset and didn't want to be associated with the show anymore. Aashish tried to edit a video by removing Ashneer's name and face and even cut out a part of his roast. But unfortunately, that edited video was also taken down shortly after. Now, the footage of that episode is circulating on YouTube and Twitter. The comedian started the show by saying, "TV pe log talent dikhahte aate hain; ye aukat dikhake aa gaya." Samajh gaye kiska baat kar raha hai main? What is the name of your company, yaar?"

The entrepreneur grabbed everyone's attention when The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) filed a fraud case against him and his wife Madhuri. They were reportedly accused of being involved in an Rs 81 crore scam. People on the internet were stunned by this news. The case was filed against them for supposedly misusing the company's funds using falsified documents. Nevertheless, Ashneer denied all the allegations. According to the latest report in the case, High Court has issued that Ashneer and wife Madhuri can now travel to the US (earlier they were banned from traveling) but not together.

Ashneer Grover threw shade at Shark Tank India Season 3 for adding 6 new sharks, making a total of 12 judges. He shared his opinion on the show's decision to introduce so many new judges for the season. Ashneer even went as far as to suggest that the third season of the show is essentially a tryout for the next season. In a tweet, he wrote, "Shark Tank 3 is an 'audition' of sharks for Shark Tank 4! There's a lesson in life - don't complicate things that are already working well. Hoping that quantity doesn't overshadow quality."

Ashneer Grover made a guest appearance on reality show Roadies 19, but his presence didn't sit well with the viewers. People on the internet were surprised to see him on the show and flooded the comment section with negative feedback. They questioned Ashneer, "Ye konse line me aagaye aap."

Namita Thapar and Ashneer have been engaged in an ongoing online argument since his departure from Shark Tank India. Namita remarked, 'The toxicity is out for good in Season 2,' alluding to Ashneer Grover's exit from the show. Subsequently, during another interview, Ashneer responded to a fan's question about Namita by stating, “Namita seems to be discussing me everywhere, maybe she misses me... I don't go around talking about her, so this question isn't for me; you should ask her why she talks about me so much.”

In one of the episodes of Shark Tank India 3, Anupam Mittal took a dig at Ashneer Grover. When a founder of a 'rage rooms' business appeared on the show, Anupam indirectly referred to Ashneer. The founder started his pitch by saying, "Sharks aapko bhi ayesa gussa aata hoga na? (Sharks, you must also get angry like this)." To this, Shark Anupam Mittal replied, "Jisko aata tha, wo gaya. (The one who used to get angry has left)." Ashneer responded to this at an event. A fan shared a video on Twitter where Ashneer Grover was seen at an event. There, he reacted to Anupam's recent comment and said, "Mittal Sahab Ki na Umar hogayi hai...Dusra, gussa wala chala gaya. Ye toh fact hain na. Galat toh kuch nahi bola Mittal saab ne us tareeka se. Chala gaya… Tum sab toh thandi so sab. Tabhhi toh pehle season ka TRP dekh lo aur second, third season ka TRP dekh lo. Sab pata lag jayega. (Mittal Sahab has aged... The second person with anger issues has left. That's a fact. Mittal didn't say anything wrong in that way. He left... You all have become so cold. Just check the TRP of the first season and compare it with the second and third seasons. You'll understand everything)."
