What happened when Amitabh Bachchan faced ‘Sharks’?

Inspired by Shark Tank India, Mr Amitabh Bachchan tries his hand at being a pitcher in front of the Sharks on Sony TV’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati-14’s ‘Finale Week’.

Viewers will get to witness brilliant Sharks along with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan getting a taste of Shark Tank India on Sony Entertainment Television’s knowledge-based game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ – Season 14 on Wednesday, 28th December, for the ‘Finale Week’. Along with an amazing gameplay by all the sharks, viewers will lend their ears to some of the most engaging conversations that will be had between the host and the Sharks. Viewers will get a glimpse into the lives of the sharks, even them having a fan moment in front of the legendary, Mr Amitabh Bachchan.

The host and the Shark Aman Gupta will be seen talking about how the latter’s life changed post-Shark Tank India. He would also amuse the host by talking about how random people pitch their ideas to him at odd places. Elaborating on the same he will share, “Even when I am in the washroom, people come behind me in there and start pitching about their business ideas.” Aman Gupta will also express how much love he received from fans of the show and how much Shark Tank India has helped him and his brand.

Further, Anupam Mittal will be adding to the host’s amusement by talking about how he randomly received a pitch at Disney land on a roller coaster and even while traveling in the car. He would share, “A few months ago, my wife, daughter, and I were visiting Disney Land at Paris. There is a roller coaster in the amusement park where 6 to 8 people can sit so my wife, my daughter Alyssa and I, three of us sat there and 3-4 more people were sitting with us. They understood I am from Shark Tank India so they greeted me and I did the same but later even before the ride started they started pitching me their ideas.” Peyush Bansal will also share his pitch incidents saying, “Once someone waved at me while I was in the car and I waved back and then half hour later when I reached near my house, I got down and saw another car stopped behind me and it was the person who waved at me.” Namita Thapar will also be sharing that when her car stops on signals people point at her and say ‘Voh Dekho expertise wali’ [Look at that expertise girl] because her meme went viral about her iconic dialogue. Amit Jain will be talking about how he got pitched to while having ‘Gol Gappas’ in Jaipur.

Out of all the oddballs, Vineeta Singh will be sharing an inspiring incident saying, “When I go to the park with my kids, young girls who are aged around 6-7 years come up to me and say ‘Even we want to become an entrepreneur.’ when I was growing up I had fewer role models and today young girls are saying they want to become entrepreneurs. Earlier entrepreneurs were not taken seriously but now when I see these young girls their mothers are not opposing but supporting their dreams.” She will add on to it, saying “Kids get inspired by what they see and for them to see so many women coming to the Shark Tank… last season there were 48% women pitchers. I feel the next two-three decades for young girls will be different and Shark Tank will have a lot of impact on that.” The host will be pleased to hear about young aspiring entrepreneurs, talking about how girls are always restricted from a young age and are told to learn kitchen responsibilities and about getting married and so he would feel very nice hearing from Vineeta about young girls wanting to become businesswomen.

Inspired by all the stories and pitches Big B will also offer a unique pitch of his own, ‘AB Tissues.’ He will introduce the product in a very interesting manner, taking on the role of being a pitcher, and entering, quite in style, to the theme music of Shark Tank India, holding his precious tissue box in hand. Pitching the box, the host would say how he and his tissue box have been in service of many happy tears on the hotseat. The Sharks will question Big B about his product and then impressed sharks will decide to invest ‘100 crores’ in AB Tissues as it is a sellable brand, due to Mr Bachchan being directly associated with it, much to the viewers’ delight!
