Shark Tank India judge Namita Thapar, who made her debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, has mocked those who trolled her for being a part of the event. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Namita Thapar also shared her new pictures from the event. Namita wore an off-shoulder purple dress and paired it with magenta earrings.

Namita shares comments by those who criticise her

In the photos, she posed outdoors near a fountain. Namita geo-tagged the location as Cannes, France. 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 reacts to trolls' comments

She also added, "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. Here’s to taking every stereotype ever created & squashing it with my 6 inch killer heels !!!"
