Moreover, Thapar’s Instagram bio was changed to “Sh**ty mother, sh**tier wife” and a story, which has now been deleted, was posted on her account, which showed her apparently at her house.

Namita took to social media and refuted the story that is being circulated. She called it a ‘hateful act’ by 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 !,” Namita’s post reads.
