Anushka Sharma Faces Severe Backlash For Promoting Homoeopathy; Netizens Say, “Hypocrisy Is Hard To Miss”

Anushka Sharma sparked an online debate after posting an Instagram story about homoeopathy. Netizens pointed out the hypocrisy of a celebrity living in London with access to world-class healthcare while promoting alternative medicine to millions of Indians. The controversy began after Sharma shared a video featuring homoeopathic physician Rajan Sankaran in conversation with entrepreneur Namita Thapar.

Anushka Sharma Gets Trolled For Promoting Homoeopathy

Taking to her Instagram story, the actress wrote, “Homoeopathy 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,” Sharma wrote. In the video, Sankaran argued for an integrated approach to healthcare rather than competition between medical systems. “Homoeopathy doesn’t treat conditions, it treats people. By treating people, it heals them. By healing the human, their pathology also heals. Homoeopathy can treat everybody. But can it cure everybody? Like every system, it has limitations.”

He added, “Because modern medicine does not have long-term solutions, multiple solutions for multiple sclerosis, allergies, and eczema, so these are all illnesses for which I would say even modern medical doctors refer their patients for homoeopathy. We are living in an era of integrated medicine. We are not here to prove the superiority or inferiority. It’s not either or anymore. We need to know the strengths and limitations of each system.”

What Netizens Say

The actor’s post drew support from homoeopathic practitioner Bhumika, who reflected on the criticism she has received online for practising homoeopathy. “I still remember how people trolled me on Twitter 3–4 years ago because I am a homoeopathic doc,” she wrote.

I still remember how people trolled me on Twitter 3–4 years ago because I am a homoeopathic doc. One thing I always said back then, and I still say today you can troll us all you want but in the end, many of you will come to us for treatment.

Bhumika said the criticism motivated her to work harder and maintained that many patients continue to seek homoeopathic treatment because they believe it works. “Many of you will come to us for treatment,” she wrote, adding that “those who have experienced the treatment and seen the results know its value.”

She also argued against judging an entire medical system based on one doctor’s performance.“If a treatment isn’t working for you, change the doctor but don’t judge an entire system based on one experience,” she said.

Anushka Sharma, you idiot! Don't promote pseudoscience that contributes to death of humans. Have some shame, fool. Homeopathy is fraud, Pseudoscience! Period. pic.twitter.com/IWCgODfKHw

Her comments were later shared by Dr Philips, popularly known as The Liver Doc, who responded with a strongly worded criticism of homoeopathy. “You’re still troll-worthy and you have achieved nothing in life. Homoeopathy is a healthcare fraud which also defines its practitioners. The many who come for treatment are because you lie to them,” Dr Philips wrote.

He further challenged the legitimacy of homoeopathy practitioners, saying, “You lie to yourself every single day of your life that you are a doctor. You’re not.” Dr Philips also took aim at the video Sharma shared, posting a separate critique on social media in which he described the participants as a “triangle of shame.”

About Homoeopathy Debate

There has been a long-standing disagreement between supporters of homoeopathy and advocates of evidence-based medicine. Homoeopathy is recognised under India’s AYUSH system and continues to be widely used across the country.

However, many researchers and medical organisations have argued that scientific evidence supporting homoeopathic remedies remains limited. Supporters cite patient experiences and personal outcomes, while critics argue that treatments should be backed by rigorous clinical evidence.
