Former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover has recalled the incident where he rejected former India captain Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma as brand ambassadors. Grover also revealed that he also ended up telling Kohli on why he did not rope him in as a brand ambassador. While speaking on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast, Grover revealed that as he was deliberating on hiring Kohli, he was also offered actress Anushka Sharma as part of the package. 

"Maine bola chalo, Virat Kohli ko le lete hain, aur usne ek amount boli. Abhi bolunga nahi, Virat Kohli bura maan jayega. Phir bola ke Anushka ko bhi saath mein le lo. Maine bola maine kaunse Manyavar ke lehenge pehnane hain aur sherwani bechni hai, woh Manyavar waalon ne kar liya hai," Grover said on the podcast. 

"Maine bola koi aur player bata, woh bolta hai ke uske baad kisi ki aukaat hi nahi hai. Maine kaha ek kaam kar, jitne ka tu mujhe Kohli bech raha tha na, usko divide by two kar, aur iss number pe mujhe baaki 11 player laa de. Aur maine wohi deal kari phir, 11 player liye, Kohli divided by two ke number pe," he added.

Grover then revealed how he narrated the entire incident to Kohli as well. 

“Mere paas ek bhi player ke saath photo nahi hai, main shoot pe nahi gaya. Ek hi photo hai, Kohli ke saath baat karte hue recently. Aur jo Kohli ke saath baat kar raha tha na, main usse yehi kissa suna raha tha, ki kaise aapko bechne aaye they, aur maine baaki 11 player le liye aapko nahi liya. Kohli bola, It’s very good business," he said.

Many of his catchphrases have become popular, and several memes have been made.
