In the world where the temptation, or rather the desire to know all dominates us, resisting social media can be a task. However, actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the few celebrities who has managed to stay away from a variety of social media platforms.
At a recent event where the actress was present to felicitate awardees of Safaigiri awards 2016, opened up about the problem of cell phone addiction faced by people today. She said that it is the invasion of social media in our lives, which has made us lazy. She said, "We are very quick with excuses. Work, routine, lifestyle, social media and the need to be on it 24/7, I had to say this! I have observed, we don't have time to look at another person and talk to him/her because we are so busy on our phones. So, how many people would actually look around to do the basic things like leaving their phone for a minute and picking a tissue, which is lying on the floor, and putting in the bin? People are leaning on conveniently-attributed lethargy."
The actress has made a very valid point. Maybe it is time to look up from the screen, and actually, make a change?
