Namita Thapar, best known as Shark Tank India‘s judge, has landed in a soup of controversy after her Reel on the health benefits of namaz went viral. A while ago, Namita dropped a video on her Instagram handle to share that she has been receiving extreme hatred online for the Reel. Namita added that her mother was also trolled for the same. It is worth mentioning that Namita had never shied away from speaking her mind, and this time, there was no exception.
Shark Tank‘s Namita Thapar gives a befitting reply to trolls for criticising her Reel on the health benefits of Namaz
On April 20, 2026, Shark Tank’s Namita Thapar shared a video on her Instagram handle. In the now-viral video, Namita shared that for the last three weeks, she has been receiving extreme hatred online. She mentioned that trolls are targeting her mother. The only reason behind such trolls was Namita’s viral Reel in which she shared the health benefits of namaz. Namita highlighted that earlier she had made many videos about the Hindu religion, but no one said anything about it. Shark Tank India judge stated that she was taught that the letter R in religion stands for respect. She was quoted as saying:
“Peechle teen hafte se mujhe gali di ja rahe hai. Non-stop. Aur meri darling mom ko bhi gande gande naam de rahe. For what? For making a Reel on health benefits of namaz. I am a health care professional. Maine itne saare Hindu religions pe Reels banaye hain, unke health benefits pe. Tab kisine kuch nahi bola. I was taught that ‘R’ in religion stands for respect. Is this how you show respect—especially toward two women? When reservation bill doesn’t pass, everyone speaks up, but when two women are disrespected like this, why the silence?”
