The first season of the show Shark Tank India was a massive success and its second season is about to air on Sony TV very soon. The show gave a platform to many budding entrepreneurs to share their business ideas and get investments in return but some people pointed out that on some occasions, the judges (or sharks, as they are called in this show) were unnecessarily rude to some contestants. Ashneer Grover in particular garnered a lot of attention for his angry and rude demeanor on the show.

Shark Anupam Mittal, who is set to return for second season (unlike Ashneer) recently stated that humiliating people on the show is unacceptable. He told Film Companion, "I’m not going to talk about specific sharks but as a team we gave a lot of leeway to people in a lot of pitches last year. This year, you might see that change a little bit."

He further added, "I think there is a difference between being critical and insulting someone. You might have a bad idea or a bad business or a terrible business plan but that doesn’t make you a bad person. So I, and I think everybody, draws a line at criticising your business and your idea and your plan and to give you a reality check and to show you the mirror because this is Season 2. Humiliating somebody is not acceptable and anybody who does that, does not deserve a seat on Shark Tank."
