Namaz Health Benefits: Namita Thapar Claps Back at Trolls After Her Instagram Reel Gets Harsh Criticism

Namita Thapar says the abuse followed a wellness reel on namaz, and she says the backlash included insults aimed at her mother.

  • On Monday, Shark Tank India judge Namita Thapar addressed three weeks of continuous online abuse, detailing derogatory attacks against her and her mother following her video discussing the health benefits of Namaz.
  • Emcure Pharmaceuticals Executive Director Namita Thapar posted the video in March, describing Namaz as a full-body movement beneficial for flexibility, joint health, and mental well-being, which triggered controversy and personal attacks.
  • Questioning the double standards, the healthcare professional noted she frequently shares content on Hindu rituals like Surya Namaskar and Yoga without backlash, contrasting warm reception of those posts with current abuse.
  • Thapar urged critics to reflect on the concept of karma, stating she is a 'proud Hindu' who believes 'R for Religion means R for Respect,' while questioning why silence persists regarding women's disrespect.
  • She urged 'educated Hindus who believe religion means respect' to help circulate her response video, concluding that trolls should 'Continue at your own discretion because god' is watching.
