After being rejected at Shark Tank India, Niti Singhal got featured in an Amul Topical. Interestingly, Ashneer Grover himself reacted to the development. For the unversed, Shark Tank investor and ‘shark’ Ashneer had earlier called out Niti Singhal fashion sense as ‘ganda’ (horrible), and had further given her some harsh feedback for her venture Twee-in-One. Reacting to the development, a jubilant Niti Singhal shared the Amul topical on her Instagram and wrote, “Thank you Amul! I have always been excited to see your hoardings since I was a child. Never thought I could be your Amul girl one day!!”.
Meanwhile, Ashneer, who had earlier dissed Singhal, reacted to the development and commented, “honoured” on the Instagram post
The Facts of the Matter
“Bohot hi ganda fashion hai yeh, koi nahi pehanne wala. Mujhe lagta hai aap bandh kar do. Kyu aap apna time waste kar rahe ho (These are some bad designs. No one is going to wear them. I think you should shut shop. Why are you wasting your time?).”
This is what a disgruntled Ashneer Grover had to say when he heard the pitch of fashion designer and entrepreneur Niti Singhal. The BharatPe co-founder added salt on the burn when he further added, “Aap mummy ke saath baith ke lehenge bech loge toh do lakh ka bik jayega (If you and your mother sell a lehenga, that too will sell for Rs 2 lakhs).”
The Ashneer Grover and Niti Singhal Story
The words are harsh enough to send even the most seasoned entrepreneurs into a form of depression. However, little did Ashneer know that Niti would have the last laugh. Earlier this week, Niti took to Instagram and shared how Ashneer’s own wife had worn a dress from her brand during her appearance at The Kapil Sharma Show.
“Never let anyone’s words pull you down. Everyone has their own opinions. Don’t stop believing in yourself,” she wrote as the caption of a video where Ashneer was seen with his wife during their appearance at The Kapil Sharma Show.

The social media post made Niti an instant celebrity with people lauding her for calling out the apparent ‘doglapan (hypocrisy)’ of shark Ashneer. And earlier on Friday, Niti Singhal was given a place alongside the Amul Girl in the brand’s topical feature ads.

Niti, Ashneer & Ghazal Featured in Amul Topical Ad
The topical ad featured two animated figures that resembled ‘sharks’– Ashneer Grover and MamaEarth founder Ghazal Alagh. The ad also featured a failed-pitcher Niti Singhal in a pink dress. In the background, fishes can be seen, and one can easily understand that the ad is making a reference to Shark Tank India.
The ad also makes reference to another catchphrase – “Yeh sab ko digest hota hai”. that was given by People Group India CEO Anupam Mittal, who’s another ‘shark’ in the show. Hilariously enough, the expression on Ashneer’s face is a reference to his anger he had expressed during the real pitch.
