[@dazsin]

You've really fit in well to the Dragon team, I hope you stay for many series. You're always very eloquent and honest

Thanks a lot, Brent! 👍

[@mixnflix101]

Favourite dragon by far. Calm and level headed yet fierce and direct. Love how your demeanor meshes with the other personalities in the den.

[@3percentforlife]

You're one of my favorite dragons from the entire show. Even when you're totally uninterested in a company, you take your time to thoroughly explain why you were turned away and what they can do to improve to attract future investments. You're always willing to help seemingly lost businesses, but you also are willing to share stakes in seemingly brilliant businesses with other dragons who might make the business the best they can be. Mad respect from the USA, brother

[@rishi-khanna]

Good advice tej. The most genuine and humble dragon

[@vampironl]

I love Dragon's Den but what amazes me most is how you take time to respond to so many comments here on KZbin! You can't imagine how much that means to certain people. Too bad i can't see the show on tv since im all the way from the Netherlands but im a loyal watcher on KZbin. Hope to see you in many many more episodes!

I'm glad !

[@mymymy982]

definitely one of my favourite dragons of the show. i love how unlike a few other dragons, you’ve always remained cordial and polite in the way you say things and have also continued to remain humble despite your huge earnings. looking forward to the next season!

Always liked watching you on dragons den Tej. Your feedback is always constructive and you always seem to give young entrepreneurs a chance when other dragons don't. Look forward to seeing you on the next series.

[@Royalbob123]

You’re my favourite dragon for the reason you encourage , respectful, make lot of offers and adds a lot of value to their businesses. I want to you for many seasons. 👍

Love your work, Tej - we always watch the show in front of meals and have become accustomed to hearing about your vitamin empire and brand building skills as we eat!

[@tejlalvani3693]

Lovely to hear!

[@djicebreaker80]

I love the show and how you & other dragons give them the honest feedback & I watch it every year.. I take notes on how to grow my DJ / singing career & other’s businesses , like fitness, on how to make money.. I love the show and always will continue to watch it

[@MintTuesday]

What I loved most about this video is seeing you respond to comments as well you're such a great guy on the show thanks a lot

[@tejlalvani3693]

That's the best part ! I love seeing people take a genuine interest in the videos I create. It makes me want to film more. Thanks for the comment.

[@edgardoangeles4665]

Stay as a dragon! which I know you will, but you are that true balance in the show. Best part of you is how you keep it real off-camera. Your seconds of advice is worth thousands in wisdom!

[@libbyreed5451]

I love watching this show and getting ideas and tips on how to hold myself more professionally.

[@JuicyBlueWill]

I want to hear the real truth about what gets cut. I know they have to cut out every curse because Peter used the single pass in 2005 so what else is cut?

[@HeatSeekingMouse]

Really? Did Peter swear?

[@silverbayonett]

I lost quite a bit of interest in that show once Richard Farleigh left, but there have been several dragons, such as you and Nick Jenkins who made it really quite worthwhile to watch. I always liked how you kept it grounded in business and didn't go for dramatics. All the best!

[@adegokeabimbola2237]

Of all the dragons, you are the most professional and you give actionable advice, you and Deborah Meaden.

[@tejlalvani3693]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@nilimasangani914]

Hi Tej! Love ur humbleness on the show and how respectful u are to entrepreneurs, as well as the other dragons. I don’t know if this will ever reach u but a quick question: why did the Love Cocoa deal with James Cadbury not work out outside of the den? Just briefly Xx

[@Silver_Warden]

Thanks for sharing this experience, Mr Lalvani! Something I've been wondering about the show for the longest time is how long it usually takes you guys to go through a single pitch, and how exhausting it can be for you? Because the episodes themselves are not that long, some pitches get about 15 minutes of screen time, but at times it's clear that you spend a lot of time talking with the entrepreneurs, and I assume it has to be quite difficult to evaluate like 10 different businesses in a day and make pretty big decisions.

[@Silver_Warden]

@@MsMaryPatricia Two and a half sounds like torture, especially if the business is not very good to begin with. No wonder they appear exhausted sometimes!

[@jamesrindley6215]

Tej, you come across as sincere and reasonable. I would like to ask what's your take on the research into vitamin supplements in recent years. I used to take supplements but have stopped doing so after reading research showing that they can actually be harmful to health. How do you see this influencing your approach to making and marketing supplements?

[@donalddjtrump1134]

I love watching you on this show its lots of fun to watch you argue with the other dragons 😂 hope you are doing well and keeping safe.

[@tejlalvani3693]

Sometimes it gets heated in the Den!

[@donalddjtrump1134]

@@tejlalvani3693 😂 Very true!

[@mistermornevanderberg]

Haha, must confess I expected something like "we are actually using Monopoly money" or something, when I looked at the title of this video, since it usually suggests some secret about a show when it says "The truth about". Even so, I have to agree with you, it is fascinating to interact with people and gain experience in this field. Also, it's always a bit tense when you actually think somebody is onto something, but then they create tension, making you sit at the edge of your seat, wondering if there is going to be a deal or not :-)

I'm very (very!) good with numbers, I'm decisive and I can always get things done. I'm only 30 years old, still in my first job and have plenty to achieve and prove. If you have any positions available someone like me, could you please reply/contact me. I am happy to relocate. (Kindly excuse my rather silly username) Thank you.

Entrepeneurs can be successful , and financially very well off . They enable affordable products and produce . I am thankful . Some of us are happy to have enough to get by , food , shelter , clothing , a few luxuries , a laptop , internet connection , bicycle , a little for a rainy day perhaps , similar provision for family . I guess its a symbiotic relationship .
