Actor Rajesh Kumar, famous for playing Rosesh in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, left acting for a while to focus on organic farming. However, he faced many struggles and financial losses, which led him back to acting.
In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Rajesh opened up about his experience on Shark Tank India and why his farming business failed.
Rajesh Kumar on his Shark Tank India journey
Rajesh Kumar revealed that he struggled with his organic farming venture because he couldn’t raise funds at the right time.
Talking about his experience on Shark Tank India, he said:
“When I went to Shark Tank, I wanted to tell them— Guru, you are not from another planet. You have made a lot of money, you have resources, so why not support ideas like mine? Help me because there are areas where I lack experience. At least sit with me and discuss it.”

Rajesh Kumar takes a dig at Anupam Mittal
During the conversation, Rajesh also made an indirect remark about Anupam Mittal, the founder of Shaadi.com.
He said:
“I am saying that you can arrange marriages for two people and make money like a priest, but how much have you really invested in their marriage? You are working with people, but you don’t even know their names.”
He further criticized how corporate houses don’t invest in farming:
“There are big companies and people with loads of money. If even one percent of it goes into farming, things will change. If celebrities and influencers start promoting agriculture, the industry will transform. The day sugarcane fields replace crime and violence with a fashion runway, the story will change.”
Why Rajesh Kumar’s business failed
The actor-turned-entrepreneur also reflected on why his organic farming venture didn’t succeed.
He admitted:
“I wasn’t smart enough in business. Wherever I went, I spoke from my heart. But these are corporate people— they want to see numbers, not emotions. And that’s where I failed.”
