Entrepreneur and
Shark Tank India
judge Aman Gupta has caused quite a stir with his recent remarks about an unnamed Indian film star, whom he referred to as “an extremely egotistic man.” During a podcast appearance on
Dostcast
, where he was joined by fellow ‘shark’
Anupam Mittal
, the boAt founder opened up about his experience working with the star.
Aman recalled how his company had hired the actor as a brand ambassador, only to be taken aback by the star’s attitude. “We had this actor as our brand ambassador. He was an extremely egotistic man. In the news, I had always heard good things about him. People only wrote that he is ‘sweet,’ ‘nice,’ ‘kind,’ and ‘humble’… They often mentioned his good behaviour with the paps and his fans, they also wrote that ‘he travels in economy class’, but his attitude was the extreme opposite when he worked with us. This experience taught me that people today have mastered the art of being humble,” Aman shared.
The entrepreneur further added that he was confident the actor’s true nature would eventually come to light. “However, Indians are pretty smart. One day or the other, they will get to know the reality. They do understand the difference between a genuine person and a pretentious person. They quickly understand which hero has ego, attitude, style and rizz,” he said.
While Aman Gupta did not name the actor directly, the clip quickly went viral, leading to widespread speculation about the identity of the “egotistic” star. Fans took to social media to debate who the star could be, with two names emerging as possible suspects. Some users pointed to Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, who has previously endorsed boAt, while others speculated it could be Kartik Aaryan, another actor known for his humble image and also a boAt brand ambassador. One comment even noted, “It has to be
Diljit
or Kartik. Both have endorsed boAt and are known for humble image.”
As the internet continues to buzz with theories, the mystery remains unsolved, leaving fans eager for more answers.
