New Delhi: Namita Thapar, a judge on Shark Tank India, attended the premiere of ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, starring Chris Hemsworth, on the second day of the Cannes Film Festival. Some internet users have been critical of Namita, telling her to dress her age and suggesting not to share photos from her Cannes 2024 appearance. The 47-year-old businesswoman took to Instagram to discuss the trolling she endured.
As she made her Cannes debut, Namita Thapar shared new pictures from Day 2 of the esteemed event. She wore a vibrant blue strapless, floor-length gown. She accessorised with a pair of ruby earrings. Her locks were neatly pulled into a bun.
Namita sent a lengthy message with a beautiful description in which she talked about being teased for her fashion choices and how some have said that her presence on the Cannes red carpet would hurt her company's IPO.
She wrote, “You are old, 47, dress your age. You are just a nepo kid. You don’t deserve a seat on shark tank as you are always saying “I am out”. Please don’t post your Cannes pictures, your IPO is coming up, you won’t be taken seriously as a business leader.”
Namita Thapar’s Befitting Reply To Trolls
Namita’s lengthy, self-affirming comment reads: "Who defines who we are & how we need to behave? The biggest gift in life is when …with age, with some white hair & with guidance from precious mentors, you discover your true authentic self & celebrate self love. Yes, I will go all out in Cannes…yes, I will put up my pics on social media & oh yes, I will not be apologetic & defensive about who I am :)
She concluded, “Here’s to taking every stereotype ever created & squashing it with my 6 inch killer heels.”
