Ashneer Grover, the outspoken entrepreneur who became a household name as a judge on Shark Tank India's first season, has once again captured the internet's attention. This time, he's taking a sharp, humorous jab at the inner workings of Bollywood's public relations machinery through a viral Instagram reel.
The Satirical Skit That Started It All
In the now-viral video, Grover is seen pretending to be a PR executive on a phone call. He uses exaggerated, menacing language, saying, "Yes sir, usska negative ho gaya, aap tension mat lo. Usska ghar barbad kar dunga, woh kahin muh dikhane layak nahi rahega, aap mujh par chhod do na sir." The skit continues with social media personality Sanyam disguising himself as an actor and approaching Grover for PR help. The video was aptly titled 'Fixing Bollywood star's PR' and carried the cheeky caption, 'Any PR is good.'
Why Fans Are Pointing Fingers at Kartik Aaryan
The video quickly sparked a guessing game in the comments section, with numerous netizens questioning which Bollywood star the skit was intended for. A significant section of the audience strongly believed it was aimed at actor Kartik Aaryan. This speculation was fueled by two key elements: the background music of the Instagram reel was one of Kartik Aaryan's popular songs, and the actor himself has recently been in the news for various controversies, making the timing of the video seem pointed.
As the reel gained traction, the comment section flooded with reactions from users across the country. While many found the take hilariously accurate, a large number were busy dissecting the clues, with most concluding the target was indeed Kartik Aaryan. The video's rapid spread across social media platforms cemented its status as the latest viral talking point.
Ashneer Grover's Continued Media Presence
On the professional front, Ashneer Grover remains a prominent figure in India's entrepreneurial landscape. After his impactful stint on Shark Tank India, he ventured into hosting with the reality show 'Rise and Fall', which concluded last year. The winner of that show was actor Arjun Bijlani. Grover's latest foray into satirical content creation shows his knack for staying relevant and sparking conversations beyond the boardroom.
This episode highlights the intense public fascination with Bollywood's behind-the-scenes strategies and how figures from the business world, like Grover, can leverage humor to critique and engage with the entertainment industry's narratives.
