Shark Tank India 2: Namita Thapar Reveals She Has 'No Regrets' For Not Investing In Her Fellow Judges' Competition; Netizens Call Her Out- Read TWEETS

The second season of Shark Tank India 2 is finally here and it seems like the first episode has left the netizens very angry. In the episode it was seen that Namita Thapar, alongside the other judges refuse to invest in a brand just because they are Vineeta Singh’s company, Sugar Cosmetics’, competitor. Their biasedness irked the netizens as they took to social media to express the same. They went on to bash the sharks for keeping friendship over business.

Now, reacting to all the criticisms and trolling, Namita Thapar took to her official social media handle and revealed that she is entitled to have her individual values. She went on to say that she has no regrets for not investing in the company that is a competition of her fellow sharks’ brand. Taking to Twitter, she wrote, “Being a shark doesn’t mean we are not entitled to our independent values & speaking candidly so if I don’t invest in a fellow sharks competition, that’s me, no regrets & if I call out toxicity & don’t join the ignorant that celebrate people w lack of integrity.. that’s me :)” ALSO READ: Shark Tank India 2: WHAT!

Fans have expressed their displeasure of Namita’s tweet. Many pointed out that bringing friendship in between such transactions can be harmful, some made comparisons with the US and Australia’s Shark Tanks. One pointed out that if that was the case, then the makers of the show shouldn’t invite brands that are ‘competitors’ the brands of other judges.

They said, “If this is adopted by all sharks, @SonyTV @SonyLIV @npsingh90 please make an announcement that no eye care brands, headphone brands, medicine brands,car brands, or matrimonial brands are eligible for @sharktankindia .This became an emotional movie instead of a business show.” ALSO READ: Shark Tank India 2: Amit Jain, Vineeta Singh, Anupam Mittal To Namita Thappar, Net Worth Of These Judges Will Leave You Shocked!

Check out their tweets here:

The problem aren’t your values, it’s the lack of candidness. When a person spends time and goes to your platform for funding, the very least you can do is give a candid and genuine response as to why you’re out. What you did was you have a false reason to make yourself look good.

May be that's you. But exactly this is perhaps what @Ashneer_Grover calls Doglapan.

This is utter non sensical theory. If you want to play friendship then why call ppl to the show. You limit creativity and opportunities and that's can't be justified by saying holy words of value. So exit the show or give chance to neutral investors looking for business.

I dont comment on anyone else’s business or decision. But as a co-founder of a startup, I would just say if the decision was made for frnship, better way was not to invite them on the show.#SharkTankIndiaS2

Shark tank US and Australia kept the level up every ssn bcz of both judges as well as contestants.India - only contestants (businesses) are pushing limits …judges prefer friendship over professional opinion. Is it fair to the business owner standing in front of u nd trying hard?

Watched the episode today and surprised to see sharks coming up with this friendship card wtf??? Toh whoever is a direct competitor to one of the sharks will never get an investment from SharkTank.And trust me, this is the reason ppl call desi shark tank as chapri or sasta wala
