Mumbai: Actor Aditya Khurana, who is currently seen in Kyunki Rishton Ke Bhi Roop Badalte Hain, believes social media has become an integral part of everyday life, with people openly sharing almost every aspect of their personal and professional lives. While he has no reservations about sharing things on social media, the actor admits that constant scrolling has also become an addiction for him.
Talking about whether he is comfortable putting personal and professional updates on social media, Aditya says, “Yes, I have no problem posting everything on social media.”
The actor also acknowledges that social media consumption has gone beyond being just a source of entertainment and has become a habit for many.
Sharing his own experience, he says, “No doubt, it has become an addiction for me as well. I’m trying to change this habit and maybe, for sure, I’ll get rid of it soon.”
With social media feeds constantly bringing users face-to-face with distressing news, including natural disasters, crime cases, political content and animal-related issues, Aditya feels that consuming such information every day can be disturbing. “I think the world is turning into a different place for everyone. It is very disturbing to the mind watching this kind of news every day,” he says.
The actor further believes that the impact of social media goes beyond emotional well-being and can affect people mentally as well. “I think it has affected not just emotionally but mentally as well. Many people have unfortunately led themselves to death because of the depression caused by social media. Knowing things is good, but knowing too much causes problems, and I think it’s high time people should understand that,” Aditya says.
For Aditya, the key lies in understanding where to draw the line. While social media can keep people informed and connected, he believes excessive consumption can also take a toll on one’s mental peace, making it important to maintain a healthy balance.
