Responding strongly, Thapar released a video message addressing the harassment. She revealed that she recorded the clip early in the morning during her commute to work, even stopping her car mid-journey to speak out. In the video, she described the nature of abuse, stating that derogatory slurs were directed not only at her but also at her mother.

She stressed that her intention was rooted in healthcare awareness, noting that she has previously spoken about Hindu practices such as yoga and Surya Namaskar without attracting similar criticism. Questioning what she termed 'selective outrage,' Thapar reiterated that all religions deserve equal respect.

Thapar concluded her response with a strong message against hate, urging people to speak up against injustice and emphasising that actions driven by intolerance ultimately have consequences.
