Aman Gupta reveals many new sharks joined Shark Tank India to whitewash their image after seeing Anupam and him become heroes; says ' they kept chasing the makers...'
Aman Gupta
, an entrepreneur and Shark Tank India judge, is not impressed with the new sharks who have joined the most recent seasons of the iconic business reality TV show. He asserted that, while the judges who have been on the show since season one have no hidden motivations, many businesspeople are now using the show to launder their reputations.
During Prakhar's podcast, Aman shared how those entrepreneurs who earlier rejected the show joined him in later seasons, seeing Anupam and him turn heroes. He said, "I like those whose companies are performing well. They're original and aren't in the show to fix their character. My character has been clean right from the start. I don't want to take names, otherwise it'd lead to controversy. Some people had initially rejected Shark Tank, but once they saw Anupam (Mittal) and me become heroes, they had FOMO.
So they kept chasing the makers, asking them to make them sharks. And now, they're sharks."
Aman further added, "Aman Gupta's character may have changed from season one to season four, yet he remains consistent. We avoid engaging in any pointless activities. Whether you love or hate us, this is who we are. Namita (Thapar) has always been honest about her areas of expertise. I had a way of life; I would do it, and I am not terrified.

That's why I occasionally dislike these new sharks; otherwise, it's okay."
Aman then detailed how many of them begin to have a God complex, which leads to their downfall. He quipped, "A lot of people get a god complex once they start doing well, the media starts writing about them, and the family starts congratulating you via messages. That's where the downfall of everybody starts. We need to understand that. My mom says, 'Even Ravana couldn't keep his pride.' I also believe that. You don't need to have an ego that you can't do no wrong.
There's always someone out there doing better than you. You can't think you're the best. You should be able to accept you suck."

What if Trevor had been the protagonist of GTA IV?
(Image via Rockstar Games) Imagine Liberty City through the eyes of a complete maniac. No cold, calculated Niko Bellic. No tragic war stories. Just Trevor Philips, the crazy chaos machine and unapologetic psycho running the show. Yeah, it would've been absolutely unhinged . Here's what GTA IV might've looked like if Trevor was driving the story (and probably crashing into everything on the way). Liberty City Would've Burned (Literally) Niko was about revenge, loyalty, and lowkey trying to be a better person (even while gunning down half the city). Trevor? Not even close. His entire vibe is 'I'll do it because I can.' Missions would be less about strategy and more about maximum carnage. Think less 'let's sneak in and grab the guy' and more 'let's blow up the entire building and see what's left.' He's the kind of guy who'd cause a five-star police chase just to pick up fast food. Trevor Philips Adventures in GTA 4 Episode 1 Every Relationship = Pure Chaos Niko had complicated bonds—with Roman, Michelle, Packie… it was messy, but human. Trevor? He'd probably rob Roman's cab business by mission two. Any romantic subplot? Instantly toxic. Trevor's the guy who'd go on a date, then threaten the waiter for 'looking weird.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo There'd be zero trust, constant backstabbing, and a lot of yelling. Every cutscene? Explosive. Drama would be off the charts. Mission Design? Straight-Up Madness Trevor's missions in GTA V are infamous for a reason—cannibal cults, train heists, torturing people… he doesn't do normal. So with him leading GTA IV, missions would be dialed up to 100. One minute you're hijacking a chopper while high on something unidentifiable, the next you're chasing a guy through Times Square on fire . Story coherence? Who needs it. Just vibes. Violent, chaotic vibes. The Story Arc: No Redemption, Just Mayhem GTA IV tried to be deep. It wanted you to feel things. It gave you moral choices. Trevor wouldn't care about any of that. You pick 'revenge' or 'deal'? Trevor does both —and kills everyone anyway. There's no growth with Trevor. No lesson. No emotional payoff. Just an endless, spiraling descent into beautifully entertaining anarchy. Trevor arrives in Liberty City | GTA IV Liberty City Wouldn't Survive Let's not lie—Trevor would turn Liberty City into an actual warzone. The cops? Outgunned. The gangs? Out-crazied. The civilians? Running for their lives. The city already felt tense with Niko. With Trevor, it'd feel like The Purge: Forever Edition . Every corner would be chaos central. Would It Work? Honestly? Kinda. Trevor brings energy . He's the grenade in a quiet room. While it would kill all the seriousness and moral conflict of GTA IV, it'd replace it with something else: pure, wild fun. Liberty City wouldn't just be a battleground—it'd be a playground of destruction. And Trevor would be king of the chaos. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.

Aamir Khan's son Azad stuns with grown-up look, almost matches dad's height at Sitaare Zameen Par screening with Gauri Spratt
Aamir Khan , who has been co-parenting his son Azad Rao Khan with ex-wife Kiran Rao since their separation in 2021, made a rare public appearance with both his son and his girlfriend Gauri Spratt at the special screening of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. The event, held on Thursday, marked one of the few times Aamir , Gauri, and Azad were seen together in public, and it was Azad who ended up stealing the spotlight. The Laal Singh Chaddha actor, who is returning to the big screen after three years, looked dapper in a cream sherwani, while his son Azad opted for a sharp deep-blue suit. Gauri, meanwhile, turned heads in a light green and blue sari. The trio posed for pictures in front of the film's poster, holding hands and smiling for the cameras. Azad, almost matching Aamir's height now, charmed everyone with his grown-up appearance and confident demeanour. Also present at the screening was Aamir's daughter, Ira Khan, who arrived with her husband Nupur Shikhare. Aamir and Gauri's growing public presence Aamir Khan introduced Gauri Spratt to the media on his 60th birthday earlier this year in Mumbai.
