In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Anupam recalled his ‘badi galti (huge mistake)’ when Amitabh asked him to explain what Shark Tank India is all about. “Maine kaha, ‘Bilkul aapke jaisa hi hai, lekin aapko yahaan paise milte hai, wahaan pe mujhe paise dene padte hai.’ Bachchan saab kadak, unki nazar toh aap jaante ho, main darr gaya, maine kaha, ‘Maine kya keh diya, yaar!’ Phir woh has diye (I said, ‘It is exactly like your show, except you get money and I have to give my own money.’ Bachchan saab gave me a tough look, which you all are familiar with, and I thought to myself, ‘What did I say!’ Then he laughed).”
