Unmasking the Sharks: Namita Thapar and Kunal Bahl's Surprising Childhood Struggles Revealed

In an emotional flashback on Shark Tank India 4, judges Kunal Bahl and Namita Thapar shared their sad stories of bullying in childhood for being overweight. While pitching the fitness app Fitelo, Bahl spoke of how he weighed 112 kg at 17 and was nicknamed "mota" rather than his name. Thapar revealed that she was called "moti" during school years, affecting her self-esteem and causing her to eat emotionally. The blunt revelations were made when the creators of Fitelo, worth ₹110-120 crore, made a pitch for their holistic health and wellness app. Inspired by the pitch and life stories, Vineeta Singh and Namita Thapar invested ₹1.5 crore for 1% equity and 1% royalty.
