\"Shilpa Amid growing buzz around Bastian allegedly clocking Rs 2\u20133 crore in daily turnover, actor and co-owner Shilpa Shetty<\/a> along with restaurateur Ranjit Bindra have addressed the speculation. In a recent conversation, the duo spoke about the brand\u2019s journey, their partnership, and the viral revenue claims.Shilpa joined Bastian in 2019 and currently holds a 50 percent stake in the hospitality brand.<\/p>\n

From customer to co-owner<\/p>\n

Shilpa revealed that she first walked into Bastian in 2016 as a regular diner.She told Curly Tales, \u201cI am so happy Ranjit and I met. I met him in Bastian when I came there as a customer in 2016. That\u2019s when we started talking, and he told me he was opening another outlet in Worli, which also went on to become an iconic place. But I want to share the story behind it \u2014 I was not convinced at all because that location was just a barren space back then. He was simply convinced that he would turn it into a top-running restaurant. We opened during Covid, but that\u2019s where the brand Bastian truly took shape. Today, we have eight restaurants across four different brands under Bastian.\u201dWhat began as an 80-seater in Bandra has now expanded into eight outlets across four verticals.<\/p>\n

\u2018She was my lucky charm\u2019<\/p>\n

Ranjit said Shilpa\u2019s presence changed the energy of the brand.\u201cShe had a different energy. When I spoke to her, there was always a positive vibe. I always wished Shilpa should become a part of Bastian \u2014 and I was right. She was my lucky charm.\u201dOn celebrity backing, he added, \u201cCelebrity matters because you get exposure through that. It helps people recognise you everywhere. Shilpa plays that part tremendously. Her inputs always matter to me. She is like an older sister to me, so whatever she says, I just follow.\u201dHe also revealed that Bastian took nearly four years to turn profitable. <\/p>\n

The Rs 2\u20133 crore claim<\/p>\n

When asked about reports that Bastian earns Rs 2\u20133 crore a day, Ranjit responded, \u201cI hope that was true. I am sure one day it would be true, so let\u2019s keep our fingers crossed.\u201dThe claim originated after author Shobhaa De said on Mojo Story, \u201cOne single restaurant in Mumbai has a turnover of Rs 2-3 crore a night. On slow night, the turnover is Rs 2 crore and on weekends it is Rs 3 crore. I walked into that restaurant to see it myself because when I heard these numbers… I said this can\u2019t be true.\u201dWhen asked by Barkha Dutt which restaurant she meant, Shobhaa replied, \u201cIt\u2019s Bastian. It\u2019s the new Bastian. It\u2019s on the top. It is 21,000 sq ft, it\u2019s not even reality. You walk in there and you feel \u2018where am I?\u2019 You have a 360\u00b0 view of the city.\u201d She further stated, \u201cThey do two seatings, each of 700 people and they cover 1,400 people in one night. They have a waiting list of people waiting downstairs on the road in Dadar, which is like the heartland of old Maharashtrian conservative area in Mumbai. There are people coming in Lamborghini and Aston Martin. You name it. Who are these people? I have no idea.\u201dWhile the numbers continue to spark debate, Shilpa and Ranjit maintain that growth has been steady \u2014 and that the best, perhaps, is yet to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amid growing buzz around Bastian allegedly clocking Rs 2\u20133 crore in daily turnover, actor and co-owner Shilpa Shetty…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[110305,147292,147294,147288,93,61,60,270,147290,147289,3216,147287,147293,147291],"class_list":{"0":"post-315459","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bastian","9":"tag-bastian-bandra-closure-and-fraud-case","10":"tag-bastian-daily-revenue-rs-2-3-crore","11":"tag-bastian-restaurant-daily-turnover","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-movies","16":"tag-ranjit-bindra-on-bastian-profits","17":"tag-rs-2-3-crore-a-day-claim","18":"tag-shilpa-shetty","19":"tag-shilpa-shetty-bastian-revenue","20":"tag-shilpa-shetty-ranjit-bindra-bastian","21":"tag-shobhaa-de-bastian-turnover-statement"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
