Ashneer Grover, the first shark from Season 1, won't be returning for Shark Tank India 2. Although all of his followers have been anxiously awaiting his return to the show, it appears that the billionaire won't be making a comeback anytime soon. Grover actually divulged some juicy details about the production company back in April of this year when making a public visit at a college, adding that he wasn't paid a dime for a single episode.

Ashneer's raw honesty and witty one-liners on the show helped him gain a lot of popularity following the first season. He was introduced as the first Shark on the show's previous season and also happens to be one of BharatPe's co-founders. Returning to the subject, it was actually during his visit to Lovely Professional University in April of this year that he publicly criticised the show.

Brut uploaded a video of Ashneer Grover speaking at the university to their YouTube channel, where Grover can be seen saying that he would say he was a very private person till last August. He went on to say that he was so private that he had only 236 followers on Instagram. 236 followers and his account was private and he used to follow 336 people.

Then, Ashneer Grover discussed his fellow Sharks from Shark Tank India and revealed in a significant way that the show's production team held auditions at his house. He said, “Shark Tank ke auditions bhi mere ghar par hote the, bade gareeb log hain, unke paas venue bhi nahi hai. To main tumko sachhai bhi batata hoon, Shak Tank main hamare toh koi paise nahi bane. Theek hai! Kuch to kisi ne YouTube main daal diya ki mereko 10 lakh rupees per episode ke milte the, theek hai. Bhayi matlab 5 lakh bhi dila de toh badi baat hain.”

Anupam Mittal, founder and CEO of Shaadi.com, Aman Gupta, co-founder and CMO, boAt, Namita Thapar, executive director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Vineeta Singh, co-founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics, and Amit Jain, CEO and co-founder, CarDekho.com will be featured in the second season.
