Shark Tank judge Namita Thapar, on Tuesday, reacted to the social media trolling for not investing in Vineeta Singh's competitor brand. Taking to Twitter, Namita 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 :)." Shark Tank India 2: Rahul Dua to Replace Rannvijay Singha As Host, Amit Jain Comes on Board in Place of Ashneer Grover.

The second season of the popular show Shark Tank India started on January 2 and it seems like just after the first episode was telecasted, the show fell into a fresh controversy. During the first episode, all the sharks got impressed by the pitch from a makeup brand, despite of that the pitch was rejected by the sharks mainly because it was a competitor brand to Vineeta Singh's, Sugar Cosmetics.

"Shark Tank India Season 2 made it clear that it is a friendship club of rich people sitting there to demotivate hard-working individual businesses who make 'profits'. Utterly ridiculous, never saw anything of this sort happening in the US Version ever," a user wrote on Twitter. Another user wrote,"@amangupta0303 and @namitathapar gave a pathetic excuse for not investing in Recode Show name must be friendship tank of India not Shark tank India Promoting monopoly in the name of friendship." Shark Tank India: Co-Founder Of An AI Company Calls Out Peyush Bansal For His Cataract Comment on the Reality Show.
