‘Tastes like chemical’: Namita Thapar slams beverage brand 3 Sisters; Viraj Bahl-Varun Alagh question ‘cluttered’ vision | Television News

The ‘sharks’ of Shark Tank India have adopted a far more scrutinising approach this season. That cautious stance was evident in the latest episode, where two of the three pitchers left without a deal. Among them were the founders of beverage brand 3 Sisters, who appeared on Shark Tank India Season 5 to showcase their product range but failed to convince the ‘sharks’ to invest in their company. In fact, the brand’s product variations drew sharp feedback and pointed criticism from Varun Alagh, Viraj Bahl, Vineeta Singh, Namita Thapar, and Kunal Bahl. 3 Sisters is a new-age beverage brand specialising in non-alcoholic beers. The company began with three flavours and has since expanded its portfolio to include multiple sub-brands. It has also diversified into party mixers and flavoured sodas. Founded by Mumbai-based entrepreneurs Manish Kanunga, Nimish Solanki, Akshay Solanki, and Sanjay Prasad Bari, the team entered Shark Tank India seeking an investment of Rs 3 crore for 2.5% equity, valuing the company at Rs 120 crore.

Pujan Kachadiya brought his peanut butter brand, MYPB, to the tank with an ask for Rs 70 lakhs in return for a 10 percent equity stake, setting a valuation of Rs 7 crores. Sharing how his idea was inspired by an American peanut butter brand, which sold the product in a powder form, Punjan decided to bring a healthier option into the market. While the product initially impressed the ‘Sharks’, Veeba’s Founder, Viraj Bahl scrutinzed the idea right from the beginning. Soon after learning about the product, Viraj asked the founder, “Kyun kar rahe ho yeh kaam? Aap bohot hi zyaada galat jaa rahe ho. (Why are you doing this work? You are going quite wrong.) You are making all claims on regular peanut butter. You are extracting the good oils from the peanuts…healthy fats are no longer a bad word; it’s very important for the body.” …

While most would jump at the opportunity of auditioning for a Karan Johar production, Viraj Ghelani dilly-dallied for a month. “I had faced so many rejections in my initial years that I was certain I’d be rejected by Dharma Productions too. But I eventually did [a screen test],” says the actor, who plays Bhumi Pednekar’s boyfriend Baldev Chaddha in Govinda Naam Mera.

He credits director Shashank Khaitan for addressing his fears, which enabled him to deliver a one-take shot. “Shashank explained to me that he is making a movie [that is] on a much bigger scale than my YouTube videos. So if he found anything lacking in my performance, he wouldn’t hesitate to ask for a retake. He patiently cleared my doubts and boosted my confidence.” While his character is at loggerheads with Vicky Kaushal’s protagonist in the crime comedy, they bonded easily off screen. “During breaks, Vicky and I would chat …
