Aman Gupta received a lot of responses to this burst of happiness. Ashneer Grover, a Shark in India, commented "Superb" on Aman's post. Abish Mathew, the comedian he is, replied with an applauding emoji. A follower of Aman correctly pointed out the "Level of success" by commenting. While everyone is congratulating Aman Gupta on his success, few followers couldn't help but say “Boat should sell boat”.

Aman Gupta was featured in Shark Tank India, which is a show where seven Sharks from India listen to business ideas from budding entrepreneurs and decide whether to shell them out an amount to help them in running a business in return for some equity. The first season of Shark Tank India featured Aman Gupta (boAt), Vineeta Singh (Sugar), Ghazal Alagh (Mamaearth), Namita Thapar (Emcure), Ashneer Grover (BharatPe), Anupam Mittal (Shaadi.com) and Peyush Bansal (Lenskart). The auditions for the second season of Shark Tank India are already in progress and Sony TV will soon launch the second season, most probably by the end of this year.

But Kaun Banega Crorepati remains to be a favorite show of many Indians. Running for 22 years, the show is still in demand. Ever since its launch, Amitabh Bachchan has been hosting the show in all seasons, with an exception of season 3. In season 3, Big B was replaced by Shah Rukh Khan as the host of the show.
