After the teaser video of the second season of the entrepreneurship-based reality show Shark Tank India came out, fans took to social media to lament the absence of fan favourite 'shark' Ashneer Grover from the teaser. While some fans shared hilarious memes, others said Grover offered genuine guidance to entrepreneurs on the show.
A user wrote, “Ashneer Grover was the only person who was real enough to show the real world of investments and also guide the entrepreneurs and the general public. At this point, they have made it a reality TV show.”
Another user tweeted, “Ashneer Grover not being in this is disappointing, as rude as he sounded, man was straight forward and didn’t sugarcoat things, moreover added that spice which others aren’t capable of.”
Users also shared some absolutely rib-tickling memes that harkened back to Grover’s famous catchphrases from Season 1 of Shark Tank India including “Ye Sab Doglapan Hai” and “Bhai Kya Kar Raha Hai Tu?”
