#DeepikaMotwani says, “Social media provides a platform for global self-expression and creativity and also has revolutionised expression, learning, and connection.”

Actress Deepika Motwani says that social media has changed the way the world works. So many things are possible today only because of social media.

“Social media has revolutionised expression, learning, and connection. It provides a platform for global self-expression, creativity, and sharing and education along with self-learning. Social media breaks down barriers, allowing connections worldwide, fostering relationships and activism. However, challenges like misinformation and privacy concerns exist. Responsible engagement is important,” she says.

She adds, “However, one needs to limit usage. Talking of it becoming compulsive is a very individual subject. For me, I don’t do it compulsively or habitually. I use it for my work and to connect with others. I consciously engage in techno camping and use tools that have screen time reminders, on my phone. I love watching creatively curated content with the purpose of learning and bettering myself.”

She adds, “Personally, I believe in using social media consciously and being aware of its limitations. While it has its benefits, it cannot replace the importance of other activities in my life. Spending time in the gym, meditating, and engaging in face-to-face conversations with my sisters and cousins are invaluable to me. I make a conscious effort to meet them, play board games, and have meaningful interactions, and it’s amazing how we can easily forget about checking our phones for hours when we’re together. Finding a balance between social media and real-life experiences is essential for my well-being and maintaining strong connections with my loved ones.”
