They shared their experience of meeting the \u2018sharks\u2019 in a recent podcast appearance, and talked about behind-the-scenes details of the show.<\/p>\n<p>In an appearance on the Made To Market podcast, Lokhna and Tyagi talked about their brand, Shark Tank, and their life post their appearance on the popular reality TV show. They mentioned how they were assisted by a crew of around 200 people, and that their setup was grand and intimidating at the same time. They also mentioned how their pitch with the \u2018sharks\u2019 was very casual and there were many moments during the actual filming that did not make it to the episode.<\/p>\n<p><ev-engagement group-name=\"contentLogin\"\/><ev-engagement group-name=\"myNotification\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ev-meter-content ie-premium-content-block\">\n<div class=\"ie-video-container\">\n<p>ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Z6VVFcmcmuw\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shakti Mohan Interview on Passion, Struggles &amp; Dance Success | Shakti Mohan\u2019s Journey | Screen\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z6VVFcmcmuw?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/television\/shark-tank-india-tintbox-pitch-anupam-mittal-vineeta-singh-9882142\/\" class=\"\">Shark Tank India pitcher brags about celebs using her products, accuses Anupam Mittal of making a mountain out of a molehill: \u2018Yeh toh choti baatein hain\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"osv-ad-class\" style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;height: 375px;margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe were told about who is going to be on the panel a day before.
