Namita Thapar, who is a judge on Shark Tank India and the Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals, retaliated against trolls on Monday after receiving online criticism for her Instagram post in March on the health advantages of prayer.

After her social media post elicited negative remarks, Thapar claimed that she and her mother were the targets of harsh words, which led her to call out what she called selective outrage in a powerful way.

She asked if the criticism was justified by noting that her previous remarks on the advantages of Surya Namaskar had not generated similar reactions.

Thapar, who identifies as a healthcare expert and a “proud Hindu,” stressed in a video message that religion should stand for respect, particularly for women, and that people should voice their opposition to disrespect.

She also warned trolls to “continue at your own discretion,” noting that there are repercussions for one’s actions.

“I have been taught that the letter ‘R’ in ‘R for Religion’ stands for ‘R for Respect. ‘” Does respect, particularly for women, seem like this? Why the quiet when women are treated with disrespect? she asked, stating that people need to stand up for themselves.

In addition, she advised trolls to “continue” while warning them that their acts have consequences, alluding to the notion of karma.

She said in a post on X that she shot the video first thing in the morning before going to work since she thinks that “silence is not a virtue” and that people should speak out when they see acts that violate fundamental human rights.

She said that although she has been trolling for the past few years, the goal of her message was to encourage individuals to speak out against wrongdoing “out of humanity and patriotism. ”
