CEO of Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Namita Thapar addressed a row created over her video on the Sunday barbecue. As it is known that Namita is a vegetarian, the video posted by her featured both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Some of her followers seemed miffed as they pointed out that in spite of her being a vegetarian, she is serving non-veg food, and that too in the holy month of Shraavan. Though, some of her followers took her side and defended her.
Responding to the criticism, Namita Thapar, who often features as an investor in Shark Tank India, wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “The comments on my barbeque insta post have been so interesting, shows such a lack of tolerance, I’m a vegetarian & teetotaller & have never tasted meat (that’s a choice, not some badge of honour I carry) but that doesn’t mean I disrespect those who eat it. However, whether it’s choices around food or then religion or gender I see lately that intolerance has reached new heights. Every human should be respected regardless of their personal backgrounds & preferences, that’s what real education, evolution & freedom means to me. So the Monday motivation is - let’s love more, judge less :)”
