Khatron Ke Khiladi 10's Amruta Khanvilkar On Social Media Hatred: Why Comment On My Personal Life?

These days Social Media has become a toxic place to be in. What started off as a place to share thoughts has changed and has become a place to troll and spread hate. Celebrities these days are targeted more than often. And people are commenting and sharing anything and everything that comes to their mind. Sometimes these celebs react to it and sometimes they ignore it. And other times, ignoring is not an option as it becomes a hell lot to bear. Khatron Ke Khiladi 10 contestant Amruta Khanvilkar opened up on how the youth use social media. She said that social media has so much hate that it is beyond control.

"I see so many youngsters being obsessed with their social media life and judge each other by the likes, views and comments they receive. And I know how much it affects their mental health if something goes wrong on that front. These young minds need to be educated that social media isn't the be-all and end-all. Life is beyond that," Amruta told Hindustan Times.

Amruta adviced that along with the ones love you there exist people who don't like you. She said that one has to deal with it. "In your family also, there will be that one mama, chacha, bhatija, mausi, who doesn't like you. Toh social media par bhi yeh ho sakta hai na," she said and shares how she deals with the hatred, " I also enjoy social media but the moment I realise things are getting negative, I take a break. I even go on a blocking spree and will do so in future too every time someone starts to abuse me or say nasty things for no reason."

Sharing an example of social media assumptions and trolling, Amruta said, "I had shared a photo of my mother feeding my six-month-old nephew with a feeding bottle. Now, on that post people started saying baby needs breastmilk, how we should take care of a toddler, many tried teaching us to be responsible too. I was like, ' Do people really know the health condition of the mother or the baby?' A simple happy photo was turned into a sad one. I mean even Mahendra Singh Dhoni's daughter (Ziva) got rape threats. I don't understand, what's wrong with these people? Yaar bachhe aur budho ko to chodh do, (at least keep the kids and the elderly out of it)."

"Kaam nahi pasand hai bolo, uspe main aapne aap ko sudharungi. (You don't like my work, I'll try to do better). But why comment on my personal life? We enjoy performing and entertaining our audience, direct interaction and constructive criticism are welcome but I can't tolerate these mindless trolling. I've therefore stopped posting anything personal. Why give them the opportunity? I'm anyway not one of those who would express my love for my husband on social media when he's just sitting beside me," she added before signing off.
