Namita, who is currently seen among the panel of judges on the business-reality show 'Shark Tank India', is facing criticism along with the other sharks for refusing to invest in a makeup brand as it is a competitive brand of their co-judge Vineeta Singh.
Earlier in her tweet she wrote: "Being a shark doesn't mean we are not entitled to our independent values & speaking candidly so if I don't invest in a fellow sharks competition, that's me, no regrets & if I call out toxicity & don't join the ignorant that celebrate people w lack of integrity.. that's me :)."
After her tweet many of the social media users commented that the show is for self made entrepreneurs and not for showing friendship or a biased attitude.
'Shark Tank India 2' is hosted by comedian Rahul Dua. It is judged by six sharks.
The show airs on Sony Entertainment Television.
