The latest episode of Shark Tank India Season 2 had Namita Thapar getting annoyed with her fellow judges, Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta, as they stopped the pitchers from boasting about their laurels.

Tuesday’s episode of the show had Chirag Gupta and Himanshu Agarwal pitching their company Deyor, a chatbot that helps in booking travel tickets. During their pitch, they shared that in 2019, Chirag was listed fourth in Forbes’ ’30 on 30′ list Asia and recently he went to Switzerland as the Leader of Tomorrow.

After Chirag and Himanshu finished their pitch and answered all the questions of the judges of the show, Peyush Bansal opts out saying he has no clarity about their business and they have no “passion” and “vision”. Vineeta Singh also says she doesn’t want to invest in the business and Namita Thapar tells them they have no knowledge of their competitors.

When it came to Aman Gupta, he said he lost interest in Chirag and Himanshu’s business when Chirag mentioned the awards that he has won. This irked Namita and she interrupted, “Ayee…all of you start to..” But Aman didn’t let her finish and told her, “Aap devta mat bano, humein bolne do (Don’t act like God, let us speak).” Aman continued to tell the pitchers that awards mean nothing and they should just focus on their business. When Chirag tried to reply, Aman stopped him and said, “Don’t talk to me, talk to Anupam.” Anupam Mittal also explained why he is also not interested in investing in their business.

Before the pitchers left the room, Namita told Chirag and Himanshu, “Don’t take the feedback on awards. Self-marketing is important. If you have won an award, there’s nothing wrong with saying it.” Anupam said, “Galat baat hai (This is wrong) Don’t define yourself with awards. Define yourself with what you’ve made.” Aman agreed with him.

After the pitchers left the room, the ‘sharks’ got into an argument. Namita told Aman that he himself boasts about his awards on Instagram. While Vineeta tried to explain that it is the sequence of what you say which is important, Namita argued, “Koi bhi awards ki baat karta hai, you run down that person.” Anupam ends the conversation by saying, “Chaliye vo bhi mature ho jayega, aap bhi ho jayengi (Cool, he will get mature and you will get a little mature).” Namita tells him and the other sharks, “From now onwards, nobody should post about winning awards on Instagram.”

This is not the first time that the judges of the show have gotten into an argument with each other. Earlier, Anupam Mittal had many showdowns with Amit Jain.
