Anushka Sharma faces backlash after calling homeopathy a ‘crucial part’ of her life: ‘She gets the best treatment but…’ | Today’s news
Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma recently shared a story on Instagram endorsing homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine, as a “key part” of her life. However, this did not go down well with social media users who accused the actress of hypocrisy.
In an Instagram story, Anushka shared a YouTube link to a video of Dr. Rajan Sankaran entitled: “Homoeopathy does not cure conditions, it cures people”.
She wrote, “Homeopathy has played an important role in my life and Dr. Rajan Sankaran has been a key part of that journey. I deeply value his insights on health and mindful living.”

This happened a day after she visited Vrindavan’s Sant Premanand Maharaj ashram with her cricketer husband Virat Kohli.
Why are social media users angry?
Social media users felt that Anushka Sharma, who lives in London and has access to the best healthcare, should not promote homeopathy to her more than 60 million followers who do not enjoy the same privileges.
“Anushka Sharma shared a story on Instagram in support of homeopathy. She and her husband live in London where they get the best treatment but look at the hypocrisy,” said one user.
“Totally unexpected from an educated lady like Anushka Sharma. I can’t believe it,” added another.
“Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma recommends homeopathy to Indians,” said a Netizen. “The babas scam is not enough, she is now promoting an unscientific bogus medicine to Indians. Give them enough money and they might one day tell people, ‘Just visit Premanand Maharaj to cure all your ailments’.”

“Anushka Sharma left India to live in 4 AQI in London, eats the most unadulterated food in the world, runs in clean lanes, lives in the most advanced healthcare system,” said the user. “Then sometimes he comes home and preaches unscientific remedies using homeopathy to Indians who breathe 400+ AQI Air, eat adulterated food and walk in garbage and filth.”
Another netizen said that she has been Anushka’s fan for 12 years, but “I’m officially done as a fan”. The user acknowledged that “her world won’t change, but my perspective has completely changed. The admiration is gone.”
She also listed several reasons for this and said that Anushka worships “scam baba” and said that it is not piety but stupidity.
“More than 60 million people follow you, Anushka, and you’re promoting homeopathy on your story?” highlighted by the user. “I’ve seen many people deny proper medicine and die using this stuff in the name of faith, and you’re promoting it the hell?”

Another user asked the actress to be more transparent about her medical condition and its homeopathic treatment so that people can make informed decisions. “Dear Anushka Sharma, Many Indians would appreciate more clarity about the medical condition you faced and what kind of homeopathic treatment you underwent. Sharing your experience could help people better understand your journey and make informed decisions about their own health.”
“I’ve seen many people living abroad have the strongest opinions about how people in their home country should live, mostly for their own interests,” said another user.
