Ananya Panday is progressively building a name for herself in front of the camera. Her recent performance in Gehraiyaan was a great illustration of this. Ananya is, without a doubt, a social media sensation in addition to being an actor. The actress is known for her creative captions and even a self-deprecating joke.
Ananya was asked how her connection with social media has altered over time in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan. According to the actress, “Honestly, because of my recent discovery of the Mute feature on Instagram, I choose what I want to see and absorb. So at the moment, my relationship with social media is pretty good, because I’ve learned how to navigate it. It does get overwhelming being on it… But it’s all about learning. And once you realise the truth, it becomes all about acting on it.”
When asked about “muting” some Instagram profiles, Ananya explained that she prefers to utilise the tool over banning or unfollowing someone. Ananya explained why she chooses to do that by saying, “We end up spending so much time on social media, for work or fun, without realising what we’re feeding and nourishing our minds with. I believe that we need to make a conscious choice and switch—it may work for you or it may not. For me, it definitely has. We need to choose what information we allow into our lives because we may think that it won’t affect us, but it could in a way that we may not even realise. And that could spill over into our relationships, or cause unnecessary negativity. So rather than blocking or unfollowing, I choose to Mute accounts for a certain period of time until I am ready to allow them back into my life.”
