Aman Gupta reveals many new sharks joined Shark Tank India to whitewash their image after seeing Anupam and him become heroes; says ' they kept chasing the makers...'
Aman Gupta
, an entrepreneur and Shark Tank India judge, is not impressed with the new sharks who have joined the most recent seasons of the iconic business reality TV show. He asserted that, while the judges who have been on the show since season one have no hidden motivations, many businesspeople are now using the show to launder their reputations.
During Prakhar's podcast, Aman shared how those entrepreneurs who earlier rejected the show joined him in later seasons, seeing Anupam and him turn heroes. He said, "I like those whose companies are performing well. They're original and aren't in the show to fix their character. My character has been clean right from the start. I don't want to take names, otherwise it'd lead to controversy. Some people had initially rejected Shark Tank, but once they saw Anupam (Mittal) and me become heroes, they had FOMO.
So they kept chasing the makers, asking them to make them sharks. And now, they're sharks."
Aman further added, "Aman Gupta's character may have changed from season one to season four, yet he remains consistent. We avoid engaging in any pointless activities. Whether you love or hate us, this is who we are. Namita (Thapar) has always been honest about her areas of expertise. I had a way of life; I would do it, and I am not terrified.

That's why I occasionally dislike these new sharks; otherwise, it's okay."
Aman then detailed how many of them begin to have a God complex, which leads to their downfall. He quipped, "A lot of people get a god complex once they start doing well, the media starts writing about them, and the family starts congratulating you via messages. That's where the downfall of everybody starts. We need to understand that. My mom says, 'Even Ravana couldn't keep his pride.' I also believe that. You don't need to have an ego that you can't do no wrong.
There's always someone out there doing better than you. You can't think you're the best. You should be able to accept you suck."

Diana Penty opens up on ‘Chhaava' success, says 'I'm a huge critic of my own work'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor Diana Penty , who portrayed Mughal princess Zinat-un-Nissa Begum in the blockbuster 'Chhaava', says she welcomes both praise and criticism. The historical action drama, which stars Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, grossed over Rs 600 crore at the Indian box office, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. Despite its commercial success, 'Chhaava' also attracted backlash for its portrayal of certain historical events. "I'm a huge critic of my own work' Speaking about the mixed reactions, Diana told PTI, 'It's important to have both sides so that actors or makers can do better next time. I'm a huge critic of my own work.' 02:37 Detective Sherdil Trailer: Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Chunky Panday and Banita Sandhu Starrer Detective Sherdil Official Trailer Diana Penty revealed that her role required minimal dialogue, which was a new challenge for her. 'There was so much power in the silences, and that's not easy to do,' she said. The actor focused on expressing emotions through subtle gestures and internalized feelings—something she hadn't done before. While some praised her nuanced portrayal, others were less convinced. Still, she found the experience enriching: 'I looked at the positive side of it.' Other projects On the professional front, Diana Penty will be next seen in the upcoming movie 'Detective Sherdil', which is directed by Ravi Chhabriya and starring Diljit Dosanjh in the lead. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The movie is scripted by Sagar Bajaj, Ravi Chhabriya and Ali Abbas Zafar. On the other hand, Diana Penty also played a pivotal role in 'Azaad' which earned a decent 3 star rating from ETimes with our official review reading, "'Azaad' struggles to maintain consistent tension. The film underutilizes the potential of depicting the British officers' brutality, which could have heightened audience investment in Govind's climactic horse-riding challenge. Director Abhishek Kapoor's restrained approach results in a film that feels partially realized, missing its full potential. While 'Azaad' has moments of grandeur, it is overshadowed by an overall lack of emotional and narrative payoff. It is a grand spectacle with noble intentions but leaves a muted impression."

10 anime characters stronger than Dragon Ball Super's Zeno without breaking a sweat
Anime is full of overpowered characters, but none are hyped quite like Zeno from Dragon Ball Super—a cute-looking guy with the horrifying power to erase universes with a snap. While he's the strongest in the Dragon Ball universe, that does not necessarily mean he's the strongest in all of anime. Throughout different shows and genres, there are characters with abilities so ridiculous they make Zeno seem constrained. From magical girls who can rewrite reality to god-like entities who manipulate time and space with ease, these characters set a new precedent for what it means to be "all-powerful." Whether it is brute strength, cosmic manipulation, or full-on omnipotence, here are 10 anime characters that defeat Dragon Ball Super's Zeno and would easily defeat him without breaking a sweat. Anime characters who could defeat Dragon Ball Super's Zeno Character Anime Power and Comparison to Zeno Simon the Digger Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Commands galaxy-sized mechs; strength grows unlimited through willpower. Rimuru Tempest That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime God-like reality remaker; grows stronger by absorbing powers. Medaka Kurokami Medaka Box Erases concepts, masters talents instantly; more versatile than Zeno. Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Reality-bending gag character; invincible by breaking all rules. Homura Akemi Puella Magi Madoka Magica Universe remodeler with emotional and tactical power surpassing Zeno. Lain Iwakura Serial Experiments Lain Controls information and reality; existentially powerful beyond Zeno. Super Majin Rymus Dragon Ball DAIMA (Fan Series) Created Dragon Ball multiverse; far stronger than Zeno. Haruhi Suzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Unaware god with chaotic reality control; harder to predict than Zeno. Arceus Pokémon Creator and balancer of Pokémon universe; beyond Zeno's destroyer role. Sailor Moon Sailor Moon (Cosmos Arc) Universe healer and restorer; holds greater moral power than Zeno. Powerful anime characters than Dragon Ball Super's Zeno Simon the Digger | Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Source: IMDb Simon's strength is not based on divine origin, but on the unbreakable power of human will, which is augmented by Spiral Energy. He commands Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, a mech that is so large it eclipses galaxies and utilizes them as projectiles. Afterwards, he even breaks that shape to command Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which belongs on a meta-multiversal scale. Whereas Zeno is able to annihilate, Simon inspires hope and energy simply by belief alone, so his ability is basically unlimited. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo His continually growing strength is such that he might actually surpass Zeno's destructive limit. Rimuru Tempest | Anime: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Source: Pinterest Rimuru's ultimate form, as shown in the light novels, is god-like and able to remake the very fabric of reality. With Ultimate Skills such as "Azathoth," Rimuru is able to erase ideas, remake reality, and even foretell all possible futures. Unlike Zeno, whose absolute power is fixed, Rimuru is a dynamically changing god, becoming stronger with each foe or concept he absorbs. Medaka Kurokami | Anime: Medaka Box Source: IMDb Medaka is more than a superhuman—she can remove any idea, such as death, time, and reason. Her super ability to acquire any talent and master it instantly puts her in command of all powers conceivable, including powers that transcend physical reality. Her logical mind and control over abstract entities make her significantly more adaptable than Zeno, who uses his erasure power exclusively. Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo | Anime: Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Source: Instagram Bobobo is not subject to the logic of his universe—or any universe. Being a gag anime protagonist, he is governed by the toon force logic, where illogicalness is power. He has the ability to break the fourth wall, cheat death, and change results by sheer arbitrariness. This power based on absurdity might be too much even for Zeno, who exists within a narrative framework. Bobobo's reality bending at a meta level renders him invincible. Homura Akemi | Anime: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Source: Pinterest Homura begins as a magical girl, but by the series' conclusion and its sequel film (Rebellion), she steals Madoka's godhood and remolds the universe to her will. She doesn't manipulate time so much as rebuild existence according to her own emotional schema. Her tactical intellect and tiered reality manipulation could displace Zeno's brute power with tiered causality manipulation. Lain Iwakura | Anime: Serial Experiments Lain Source: IMDb Lain becomes one with "The Wired," a virtual plane that exists on top of reality. She controls information, redraws history, wipes out people from existence, and remains even after she undoes her own reality. Zeno's power is cosmic, but Lain's power is existential. She is consciousness blended with divinity, providing a deeper layer of omnipotence. Super Majin Rymus | Anime: Dragon Ball DAIMA (Fan Series) Source: Instagram Although non-canonical, Rymus is an incredibly strong fan-made character thought to exist before the whole Dragon Ball multiverse. Although Zeno is able to erase, Rymus generates whole realities, including the existence that Zeno lives in. He represents the source code of the Dragon Ball universe, which could put him well beyond the Omni-King. Haruhi Suzumiya | Anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Haruhi does not know her abilities, yet her feelings dictate all things to her. She can produce time loops, alternate universes, or recreate the universe completely—all unconsciously. Her lack of control ironically makes her more formidable than Zeno. Whereas Zeno decides to annihilate, Haruhi remodels reality by accident, which is even more difficult to anticipate or resist. Arceus | Anime: Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life Arceus is the originator of the Pokémon universe, creating time, space, and antimatter via Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. The anime makes Arceus merely an avatar of a being from a higher dimension. Although Zeno is a destroyer, Arceus is a balancer and originator with powers spanning across timelines and realities, perhaps even outside Dragon Ball's multiverse. Sailor Moon | Anime: Sailor Moon (Cosmos Arc) Source: IMDb In her ultimate incarnations, Sailor Moon evolves into a goddess capable of bringing people back to life, cleansing and rejuvenating entire universes. She is powered by empathy, which bestows upon her emotional strength that even Zeno does not possess. She does not destroy evil; she saves and restores, a divine quality that places her in an even greater moral and metaphysical position than Zeno.
