Here’s why Aishwarya Rai Bachchan distanced from social media

NP NEWS 24 ONLINE- Earlier this year, actress Aishwarya Rai joined Instagram after keeping distance from social media for a long time.

In a recent media interaction, She quoted that the fact that people start seeing it as a “barometric reflection of your popularity or status” was a put off for her.

 So far, she says, her social media journey has felt natural. “I don’t post whatever happens through the course of the day because then it would become a job and then you’re constantly focusing only on the fruition of it, and not the actual experience. I need to be connected to my real life,” said Aishwarya.

On her decision to join social media out of the blue, she replied,” I think it’s the patience, prodding, and perseverance of my well-wishers. I mean, it’s the way of the world; I get it. The reason I stayed away for so long was that the nature of the beast is such that it becomes a business. Everyone wants numbers; they start to see it as a barometric reflection of your popularity or status. How do you then monetize it, or treat it professionally?

She also added, “It’s fine that it’s a business at the end of the day, but I didn’t want to get drawn into that entire world, the drama. That said, it’s a way of life, it’s the world in which our kids are growing up, it’s here to stay, and there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Aishwarya was last seen onscreen in Fanny Khan. She also has worked in 5 movies like Gulab Jamun opposite husband Abhishek Bachchan after eight years, remake of Woh Kaun Thi and Raat Aur Din, Malang and Sujoy Ghosh and Mani Ratman in her kitty.
