With the ongoing scenario, social media has become a dumping ground for all kinds of backlash and hatred, promoting negative energy. Since it’s accessible to us all, people are taking it for granted by penning down insensitive remarks. Recently, Shilpa Shetty took to Instagram and penned a note, urging her fans and followers to engage in sensible propositions and spread positivity on the picture sharing platform. The actor has also requested netizens not to trust everything blindly that they come across on social media.
Tagging an appropriate picture, showcasing a half-eaten apple that appears whole in the mirror, she wrote. “There’s so much on social media that is shared purely as a façade to cover the lives we lead. The hardships, the struggles, the low days, the heartbreaks, insecurities, and so much more are easily concealed behind a mask of filters… one that we’ve been wearing since time immemorial. Always remember, like we don’t put our difficulties on display on social media, neither do other people. Nobody’s life is perfect. Most are dealing with their own issues.. So, don’t let social media trick you into believing all that you see, and don’t allow it to play with your mind & emotions. Life isn’t a bed of roses for any of us, but we’re all in this together. Let’s try & make this medium a positive one with constructive criticism and care, to make us a healthier community, less negative & more positive ‘grams’ on this ‘gram’.”
She signed off saying, “Stay strong, my instafam, let’s make a happy & healthy community, and reassure ourselves that… This too shall pass. SwasthRaho, Mast Raho! #MondayMotivation #SwasthRahoMastRaho #mentalhealth #happiness #mask #facade.”
Shilpa kept her fans involved by sharing funny videos, workout tutorials, healthy recipes and humorous posts on Instagram throughout the lockdown.
Shilpa also welcomed her daughter Samisha in February through surrogacy. She added how the baby has been kept indoors ever since she arrived before lockdown amid coronavirus pandemic.
