Ashneer Grover hate watching Poverty Onscreen

Ashneer Grover, who has since left the Fintech unicorn, claimed on a podcast broadcast on Wednesday that he does not like watching “poor” portrayed in films and likes “opulent” films like Zoya Aktar’s ‘Zindagi na Milengi Dobaara’.

Ashneer Grover spoke on The Ranveer Show, a podcast hosted by popular YouTuber BeerBiceps, and revealed that he has unfollowed all of the Shark Tank India judges on social media after announcing that he would not be returning for the second season.

When asked if he enjoys watching movies, Ashneer Grover stated that he only does so in Hindi. I can’t watch a Hollywood movie, he explained.

“I like movies like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara and Dil Dhadakne Do. I don’t want to see poverty in films. If I wanted to see that, I’d go out onto the street … Show me opulence, show me grandeur,” the former Shark Tank India judge said.

He added that appreciated director Zoya Akhtar’s storytelling. “In movies made by Zoya Aktar, there are eight to 10 characters, each of whom has their own importance. There isn’t a central hero. These kinds of movies interest me.”

BharatPe filed a criminal suit against Ashneer Grover and his family last month, demanding up to 88.67 crores in damages for suspected money laundering and embezzlement.

Grover was accused of using abusive language and threatening a Kotak Group employee earlier this year for failing to acquire an allotment and money for the Nykaa IPO for himself and his wife Madhuri Jain Grover.
