Recently, Shark Tank India was pitched by Brothers Akash Agrawal and Ashish Agrawal, the founders of the spice brand Zoff. The show saw them silencing Namita Thapar, who claimed to be knowledgeable about spices and related brands. This made her fellow sharks laugh, and Namita was seen wiping a tear as she laughed very hard. Namita Thapar got teased by Aman Gupta and Vineeta Singh by mimicking the pitchers. Sony Entertainment Television shared a video clip on Instagram from the episode and captioned it, "Shark Namita ne flaunt ki masalon ki knowledge (Shark Namita flaunts her knowledge of spices)."
Sony Entertainment Television's official page has shared the video clip, which opens with the sharks pitching their idea. However, Namita says, "Main to kaafi cooking karti hu, especially jab America jati hu. Har ek ke liye mera ek alag pasandeeda masala hota hai. To itne cluttered market mein aapki himmat kaise hui ghusne ki (I do a lot of cooking, especially when I am in the US. I have a favourite spice brand for each dish. So how did you dare to enter such a cluttered market)?"
Ashish Agrawal, dressed in a grey check suit, spontaneously responded to her and said, "Market bahut bada hai. Aap Pune mein baethe hain, aap wo teen masalo ko dekh rahe hain. (the market is huge. You are sitting in Pune and only seeing three spices)." His answer stunned everyone, and he further elaborated by adding, "Tamil Nadu wala Aachi ko dekh raha hai, Chhattisgarh mein ko MDH ko dekh raha hai (those in Tamil Nadu seeing Aachi and those in Chhattisgarh seeing MDH)."
Anupam Mittal and Vineeta Singh laughed, seeing how the pitcher cut Namita short. Then Vineeta Singh couldn't stop laughing and mimicked the pitchers. She said, "Tum Pune mein baedh ke kya bol rahe ho, haan (what are you saying while sitting in Pune)?" Aman Gupta teased Namita, "aapko bada pata hai masalo ke baare mein (You seem to know a lot about spices)?"
