Netizens slam Shark Tank India 2 by comparing it to Indian Idol and calling Ashneer Grover's absence 'big loss', read tweets

Shark Tank India 2 premiered on Monday (January 2), and two episodes down the line, several netizens took to Twitter to express their disappointment with the new season. While some slammed Namita Thapar for not investing in a make-up brand as it was her 'friend' Vineeta Singh's competitor, others were unhappy with Ashneer Grover's absence. Here's looking at some more reactions...

2/8

Namita Thapar slammed by netizens

A user wrote, "Not investing in a business just because your friend is also into the same business didn't sit well with me personally. #SharkTankIndiaS2. I never saw such thing in any other Shark Tank (US/AUS)"

Fans miss Ashneer Grover

Not one but many users have written how they are missing Ashneer Grover on the show. "After watching 2 episodes of #SharkTankIndiaS2 I am badly missing @Ashneer_Grover. He is the legend. Except @peyushbansal, All other sharks are there just for fun and maintaining mutual relationships #SharkTankIndiaS2," wrote a user. (Photo: Twitter)

Slammed for being a 'scripted reality show'

An internet user did not hesitate to call it a 'scripted' show and tweeted, "Not many people know but #SharkTankIndiaS2 is slowly turning into a substandard scripted reality show. @Ashneer_Grover is a must in #SharkTank."

6/8

Comparisons with Indian Idol

Many felt that given the emotional drama, the show is now more like Indian Idol. A user wrote, "Shark Tank is slowly becoming Indian Idol, and Anupam is the new Neha Kakkar." Another tweeted, "Waiting for the sharks to say “sorry, aap Mumbai nahi aa sakte” to an entrepreneur. Shark Tank �� Indian Idol #SharkTankIndiaS2"

7/8

Cringe season

A user commented, "Shark tank India season 2 is cringe and a joke khaaskar Vineeta aur Namita. Dono sugarcoat karke duniya bhar ka gyaan de dengi fir ulte seedhe bahane banake invest bhi nahi karengi. Invest nahi karenge kyuki "dost" ki rival company hai. Full jokerbaazi ���� #SharkTankIndiaS2." (Photo: Twitter)

8/8

Too much 'saas bahu' drama and storytelling

A user complained, "Saas Bahu drama wala feeling aa raha hai is baar.. aisa chalta raha toh Neha Kakkar ko le lo next time se, achha acting kar degi... @Ashneer_Grover Big loss for pitchers this season due to Grover sahab's absence.. #SharkTankIndiaS2." Another wrote, "Why have they added so much storytelling in Shark Tank S2??? Are they trying to get Neha Kakkar on board? #SharkTankIndiaS2"
