Ritesh Agarwal, the founder of OYO and a prominent face on Shark Tank India 4, recently marked a memorable milestone by celebrating his son Ary’s first birthday on the show’s set. Known as a platform for budding entrepreneurs, Shark Tank India turned into a joyful venue for this heartwarming family moment.
On March 17, Ritesh took to Instagram to share glimpses of the celebration. Additionally, a vlog on his YouTube channel captured the special day. The video showed fellow Sharks Anupam Mittal, Kunal Bahl, Vineeta Singh, and Namita Thapar warmly welcoming Ary. They gathered around a cake, with Ritesh personally feeding each of them a piece.
Little Ary, dressed adorably in a beige suit matching his father’s, stole the spotlight. Upon entering the set, Ritesh playfully introduced Kunal Bahl as “uncle,” while Vineeta Singh tried for a cheerful high-five, though Ary seemed a bit distracted. His mother, Geet, was also present, making the moment even more special.
The celebrations took a heartwarming turn when Ritesh lifted Ary onto his shoulders, giving him a view of the vibrant set. Reflecting on the moment, Ritesh expressed his emotions in an Instagram post. He wrote, “Season 3 was my first, and Season 4 is Ary’s first! Never thought we’d be celebrating his first birthday on the sets of Shark Tank, but here we are surrounded by incredible people, laughter, and so much love.”
He extended his gratitude to the Shark Tank India team, acknowledging the warmth and affection his family received. Ritesh also spoke about how quickly time had passed, cherishing the memories created that day. He hinted that someday Ary might look back at the footage and realize he made his first-ever appearance on national television. “Here’s to firsts, memories, and the journey ahead!” he concluded.
This intimate celebration resonated with viewers and followers, with many praising the beautiful bond shared by the family.
