Actress Sanchita Ugale has reacted to the death of content creator Misha Agrawal, whose family claimed that it was death by suicide fearing the end of her career after a drop in Instagram followers .
Sanchita currently seen playing the role of Sukoon in Dilwali Dulha Le Jayeg , described the incident as heartbreaking and expressed her concern over the growing obsession with virtual validation and social media metrics.
She said, "I'm heartbroken to see how easy youngsters considering their life. Misha, I don't know her personally but have come across her videos many times on my social media. I used to enjoy watching her. She seemed happy and full of life. But I'm heartbroken to learn the reason for her death. I feel the pain and suffering their parents must be dealing with!"
She feels sorry about the new trend people are setting on social media, causing addiction.
She continued, "I see many people who are addicted to social media, they don't realise they are actually missing to live their life for real and considering the fakeness. Social media addiction is a serious issue. The pressure to maintain a perfect online image and the constant need for validation can take a toll on mental health. It's heartbreaking to hear about influencers struggling with these pressures. I never get into this. I'm an actor people come to me, suggest me to make reels, be more active and earn money but I avoid it."
She added, "The story of this young girl highlights the darker side of social media, where followers can become obsessed with individual's life, and a decline in popularity can lead to feelings of inadequacy and desperation."
She concluded by adding, "It's essential for social media platforms to prioritize users' mental well-being and promote healthy online interactions. Perhaps platforms could implement features that encourage users to take breaks, limit their screen time, and focus on real-life connections ."
