Entrepreneur Anupam Mittal recently reacted to Ashish Chanchlani’s ‘Sasta Shark Tank’ spoof video and his portrayal in the same. “Ignore, use bhi apna ghar chalana hai (he also has to earn his living)”, is what Shaadi.com founder said when asked about his portrayal in the video. Anupam’s comment came when he took to Instagram and shared an appreciation post for his mother-in-law.
In the comments section of the post, an Instagram user wrote – “Sir, don’t you think the way Ashish has portrayed you in his Sasta Shark Tank is very wrong! Like is it okay to do character assassination of someone in the name of comedy? I really don’t know what’s your take on this but I felt very bad when I watched that video!”.
This led to a small tiff between the original commenter and an Ashish Chanchlani fan who locked horns regarding their perspectives on the matter. Earlier, it was Ashneer Grover who reacted to Chanchlani’ parody video with a comment that read – “What acting! Sasta and tikau (cheap and lasting)”.
The Facts of the Matter
Rarely anyone in the nation was saved from the Shark Tank India frenzy. From “Ye toh doglapan hai” to “This is not my expertise, so I’m out”, to “Arre bhai, baat toh karne do” – simple statements used by the show’s judges became ice breakers on dinner tables and coffee dates.
