The caption read, “This is Namita’s son. I just want the world to know that the person you see on TV is not who you think she is. Unfollow her as soon as possible. Will explain why in the due course of time”.

Thapar took to Twitter and rubbished the story, claiming it was the doing of her “educated house help”, who had stolen her phone. “This is what hate does to this world, makes people toxic. An educated house help who was removed stole my phone & put a hateful post on me on social media. Price of being a public figure! Apologies!”

Sharing the tweet on her Instagram story, Thapar informed her followers that her phone has now been recovered and thanked her friends who “called with concern”.

Social media users, however, were not convinced with her clarification. One of the users wrote, “LOL Nice try” while others wondered if it was indeed posted by her son and Thapar was “blaming the househelp.”

“That educated house help knew the password to your phone….. lmao good try , better luck next time 😂😂😂,” another user commented under her Tweet. Shark Tank India is a reality show which offers a platform to entrepreneurs, who are looking for funding and mentorship from established entrepreneurs.
