Namita Thapar Speaks Out On Troll Culture And The Need To Raise Your Voice

Entrepreneur and television personality Namita Thapar has once again found herself at the center of a heated online conversation. Known for her role as a judge on Shark Tank India and her position as Executive Director at Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Namita recently took to social media to share a candid message about dealing with trolling and the importance of speaking up against wrongdoing.

 

In a selfie video recorded during her early morning commute to Bombay, she opened up about the wave of online hate directed at her. Captioning the post with a mix of honesty and determination, she revealed that she had left home at 6:30 am, only to pause her journey shortly after to record the reel. Her message was clear—silence is not always a virtue, especially when one is faced with disrespect or injustice. She emphasized that individuals must raise their voices when basic human rights are at stake.

 

The controversy traces back to a viral video she shared around Eid 2026, where she spoke about the physical and mental benefits of offering Namaz. In the video, Namita highlighted how certain postures could aid digestion, improve flexibility, and support mental well-being, even drawing comparisons to yoga practices like Vajrasana. While some viewers appreciated the informative perspective, others were quick to criticize her remarks.

 

The backlash came swiftly, with several critics accusing her of selectively promoting religious practices. Some social media users questioned why she had not similarly highlighted Hindu traditions such as yoga, Navratri fasting, or Ekadashi. A section of online voices went further, making strong accusations and expressing disappointment over what they perceived as a one-sided narrative.

 

Despite the criticism, Namita remained firm in her stance. In her recent post, she clarified that her intention was not to engage with trolling but to encourage people to stand up against injustice. She appealed to fellow citizens to speak out when they witness something wrong, framing it as a responsibility rooted in both humanity and patriotism. Her closing note reflected her resilience as she signed off to continue what she described as another “joyful and complex day at work.”

 

The incident once again highlights how public figures today navigate a delicate space where personal opinions, cultural conversations, and social media reactions often collide. While debates around such topics are unlikely to fade anytime soon, voices like Namita’s underline a broader message—the need for dialogue, awareness, and the courage to speak when it matters.
