MUMBAI: Namita Thapar gained immense recognition after her stint on Shark tank India. She was one of the most popular sharks and viewers loved her comments and her vibrant nature. Namita is also loved for her being vocal on current issues and recently she opened up about the constant trolling that she is subjected to where people call her ‘Papa ki Pari, Nepo Kid, Overacting Ki dukaan, etc’.
Namita said, “I get trolled a lot. I got called nepo kid, papa ki pari, overacting ki dukaan. It’s okay. After a while you just become so strong and it just makes you so thick skinned that it’s a good thing. If you look at every setback, every trolling it is a learning experience. It just makes you evilve as a person.”
Namita added, “You know, at some point I stopped answering people. Magaz maari nhi karna. I don’t care what people think or what they are saying. I don’t want to use my brain there. I would rather use my brain in earning money.”
Addressing the trolling, Namita said, “From day one, we get called nepo-kids and born with a silver spoon and papa ki pari. We are second generation. But what people don’t understand is, when I joined Emcure, we were 500 crores, we are 8000 crores now. To take it to that level as a group, the second and third generation also needs to have an entrepreneurial mindset. In India, 87% of our GDP is from family owned businesses.”
She further added, “We are the third largest country, when it comes to just family businesses. While founders are fabulous, family businesses also have a very important place. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation also have a very important role. Sometimes, people don’t think through that. It’s just their ignorance, you just can’t help it.”
