Piew Jana credits social media for bridging the gap between fans and celebrities!
Actress Piew Jana, who is currently hosting “Indian Food Flicks”, credits social media for bridging the gap between fans and celebrities. However, she feels that this medium should be mainly used to spread positivity and inspire people.
“I think in modern times the interaction between celebrities and fans has increased tenfold, thanks to social media. Before there used to be very minimal interaction between the common man and the celebrity. But being the citizens of this great country, which is known for its rich culture and heritage, it is paramount that all celebrities should be very responsible for what they are uploading on their respective social media accounts,” she said.
“All the fans have taken to social media just as a duck takes to water. So all the content posted by celebrities invite both accolades and criticism from their fans. Hence it is very important to post only positive content that will inspire fans and bring about inspirational changes in their lives,” she added.
Asked her whom she follows on social media, the “Krishna Chali London” actress said, “I follow people who match my mindset, who are blessed with dignity, humility, and down-to-earth nature. We follow people to know them better and to try and learn some positive things from them. Also being in contact with our fellow actors will help us in getting new projects and help our careers.”
Though she agrees that social media plays an important role in our lives, she disagrees that it is an ego massage tool. She said, “It’s just the way you see it. Just as we can use a knife to either cut an apple or to kill a person, similarly some immoral people showcase their ego in full fledge on social media just to disrespect some other celebrities or fans. Such people should be brought to task and taught a much-needed lesson.”
“Life is not all about making mistakes, it’s about learning from them. So the sooner the people shed their egos, the sooner we will live in a world full of love and free from hatred,” Piew concluded.
