Gaurav Taneja, aka Flying Beast, has taken a jibe at Anupam Mittal again in a fresh video for his Shark Tank episode where Sharks rejected to invest in Taneja’s Beast Life Protein powder venture.
Taneja states that Anupam Mittal looked a bit irritated and was adamant that Gaurav reveals his personal income. At that time, Gaurav had smartly deflected the question by humorously saying “Sir, My wife will get upset If I reveal it”.
Taneja pointed out the double standards that Anupam Mittal has been reluctant himself in revealing the revenue numbers about Shaadi.com in public platforms whereas he was pestering him to reveal his income despite Taneja’s reluctance.
“Wow sir, wow. You ask our personal income on national TV while you haven’t revealed your numbers about Shaadi.com,”
Taneja remarked, taking a subtle dig at Anupam Mittal.
Taneja opines that Anupam was too adamant on knowing his personal income even when the rest of sharks were suggesting him to move on but Anupam wanted to hang on it.
Called me Dishonest and Cheat : Gaurav Taneja on Anupam Mittal
Taneja further states that Anupam didn’t liked it when he kept on refusing to reveal the income. He opined that he would have spilled every bit about his income and financial investments privately but didn’t wanted to reveal those things on national tv.
He states that Anupam then went on to call him “Dishonest” and “Cheat” before saying “Dishonest” but “Not Cheat” as Taneja didn’t revealed his personal income from Flying Beast and other sources including that of Rosier. As per Taneja, the footage of Anupam saying “Dishonest” and “Cheat” to Taneja were not shown in the episode.
Taneja points out that it was Vineeta who told him that he is not dishonest as he had clearly replied of not shutting down Flying Beast for Beast Life protein powder business.
Anupam was coming off from elitisim : Gaurav Taneja
Gaurav Taneja didn’t stopped there. He further said that it was hard for judges like Anupam to see the meteoric rise of company in just 6 months.
“When someone reaches a high level after years of struggle, they often develop a gatekeeping mentality, wanting others to face the same hardships before succeeding. It’s similar to seniors in college expecting juniors to go through the same treatment they once did. I felt that Anupam Mittal was acting from that same ‘elite club’ mindset, forgetting that my journey didn’t happen in six months — I’ve been working toward this since well before 2016.”
