Actor Tamannaah Bhatia believes people should be more empathetic towards each other, stating the growing toxicity on social media is a source of concern. She says, “I used to think why do people always present best part of their lives on social media and why is it so sugar-coated? But today, sitting at home in these trying times, when I see so much negativity, I actually wish they go back to the sugar-coated stuff. We need to spread a lot more positivity around because we've never seen such difficult times before.”
Bhatia said all the negativity needs to go from everywhere. The 30 year old said, “I don't even understand why so much hate? Strong influencers should go back to being entertaining. Social media is a great too. It impacts a lot of people, more so now when we're using it to stay connected with each other. It's entirely up to us to make these platforms empowering.”
She added, “Many people have expressed curiosity as to how I am being productive. This expectation people have on us, and the ones that we create for ourselves, affects us. We all are fighting our own economic and emotional battles, so, please go easy on others and yourself.”
