Rannvijay Singha garnered a lot of praise for hosting the first season of one of the most loved shows last year, ‘Shark Tank India’. The 39-year-old actor-host, however, is not part of the show anymore and he stepped down as the host in season 2 that went on air recently.?

Talking about the same, Rannvijay told Hindustan Times that there was only so much he could add, which led to his decision to quit. "I loved the concept of the show where young entrepreneurs talking only about business and the psychology around the sharks and why somebody would invest in them. But eventually, as a host, I did not have much to do. By the time the edits were done, we all realised that there was no way to push more of Rannvijay on the show,” he said.?

He added that the makers had a mutual agreement with him. "Even during the edits of the first season, they were like there is no space [to accommodate your portions]. It was more of a mutual decision. Now, the production does not just do one show. There will be more things happening," he said.?

"So, I, as a host, basically had to help these budding entrepreneurs in putting their stories, but the communication was so smooth inside that a lot of stories and who these people are, just came out on their own. The sharks were pretty good at communication," he added about the makers.?

Now Rannvijay has been replaced by comedian Rahul Dua for season 2.?

Rannvijay further cited examples of his earlier shows including ‘Roadies’ and ‘Splitsvilla’ where he was a major contributor as a host, he mentioned that with ‘Shark Tank India’, he ended up doing stuff as a host that was not as much fun.?

"Over the last 19 years, I was with a show and a channel that I became synonymous with. That's my home. Every time there's a reality show and people are discussing it, I know I am on the list. 'Yaar iss show ke liye na Rannvijay ko lana chahiye, mazaa aa jayega, but woh toh MTV mein hai, why would he leave?' That has happened to me for the last 19 years. So, I wanted to give myself an opportunity to get out of my comfort zone," he concluded.?
