Shark Tank India: When Anupam Mittal surprised Aman Gupta with his 'Gyaan on Bhang', latter had hilarious reply

Shark Tank India fame Anupam Mittal emerged as one of the favourite judges on the reality show for his charming personality and forthright attitude. The Shaadi.com founder has never shied from expressing his opinion on matters of his interest. But what surprised his co-judges the most was his knowledge and interest in ‘Bhang’(a kind of drug).

It happened during a pitch of Jayanti Bhattacharya, who took the stage and promoted her startup company, India Hemp and Co. For the unversed, hemp is made from one of the same plant species (Cannabis sativa) as marijuana. Bhattacharya introduced the hemp-based oils, and trail mixes having unmatchable health benefits. However, the judges' panel was quite confused about the probable effect of the product and started throwing questions if it will end up intoxicating the consumer. Then the well-informed Anupam came to the rescue and cleared their doubts.
