In a recent episode of her podcast, Namita Thapar, Whole-Time Director of Emcure Pharma, welcomed renowned Chennai Super Kings player Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Together, they discussed the critical issue of Women’s Health, aiming to increase awareness and address social attitudes surrounding this topic.
The conversation took an engaging turn as Thapar surprised Dhoni with a personal question about the hemoglobin levels of both himself and his wife, Sakshi. This light-hearted moment underscored the importance of health not just as a personal issue but as a shared responsibility within relationships.
The podcast aligns with Emcure’s Arth campaign, which emphasizes empowering women to prioritize their health and well-being. “We must replace dismissive comments like ‘that’s normal’ with understanding and actionable support. Women deserve to be heard and championed, not overlooked,” Dhoni stated.
Thapar added, “A dismissive attitude often leads to women feeling reluctant to speak about their health concerns, with remarks about PMS and hormonal changes often trivializing their struggles. Creating an empathetic and supportive environment is vital for women to thrive both personally and professionally.”
Dhoni concluded with a powerful reminder, “Health is wealth. By sacrificing temporary comforts and investing time in your health, the returns will be invaluable.” This insight serves as a rallying cry for women to take charge of their well-being.

MS Dhoni Set for IPL 2025: Will ‘Thala’ Enhance His Batting Role?
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been retained by the Chennai Super Kings for the Indian Premier League 2025 using the ‘uncapped player’ quota. Over the past two seasons, fans have seen ‘Captain Cool’ predominantly in the latter stages of matches, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities during death overs.
Those days of Dhoni anchoring the innings seem to have passed, as he now takes a backseat, allowing younger players to step into key roles. However, with CSK’s current roster lacking experienced batsmen in the middle order, Dhoni could surprise everyone by moving up the batting order this season.
