“Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein” actress Yamini Malhotra confessed that she is a social media addict. She feels that the platform has bridged the gap between celebrities and their fans and she even keeps her fans updated about her day-to-day activities.
She said, “I am a big-time social media addict. I mainly use Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. I don’t use Twitter though. I want my fans to know me in and out. They should be a part of everything I do. Also, I love reading their comments, messages and viewpoints. I try to read all the messages my fans send to me on Instagram and I am one of those actors who even bothers to reply to them, and fans get thrilled when I reply to them.”
“I feel it’s good that celebs can directly tell their feelings or talk about things happening in their life to their fans through social media. It’s definitely a boon because who doesn’t want to be on everyone’s phone?” she added.
While Yamini speaks in favour of social media, she agrees that everything has its pros and cons. Asked if the platform leads to over-exposure of celebrities, she stressed, “You can’t really help it. But overall I want to focus on the positives more.”
She also doesn’t appreciate people using it wrongly and posting vulgar content.
“I don’t appreciate men and women putting nudity pics. You are being given a platform to show your talent, looks, and feelings. But don’t misuse it to show vulgar content. There should be some respect maintained,” Yamini concluded.
