Deepika Singh, who returned to TV after a gap of 4 long years with ‘Mangal Lakshmi,’ spoke exclusively to india.com about maintaining the relevance of social media in the digital age.
I partly believe that having a sizable social media following is essential if you want to be an actor in the industry. Building relationships with peers and industry professionals—such as casting directors, headshot photographers, filmmakers, publicists, agents, and so on—is the best use of social media for actors. India.com got in touch with TV actor Deepika Singh about the relevance of social media these days. Singh who returned with ‘Mangal Lakshmi‘ on Colors, said that she prays to wake up to the news of Instagram being shut down. “Haan! Faltu ki sar dardi aagyi hai. Mein toh chahti hoon ki mein subha uthun aur Instagram bandh hojaye. Every day I pray for this.”
She concurred that brilliance doesn’t always require a stage. Deepika emphasized her belief in the power of the universe, saying that if you have skill, opportunities will come your way. “For actors, it’s very tough, when you’re working, you have a child at home, you’re a dancer as well, you have to practise as well, you have to read your scenes also and update your Instagram also, ” she added.
Deepika Singh on Being Addicted to Social Media
Deepika Singh, who tries to maintain a thin line between posting for relevance and being addicted to social media, said “Ab aap attire pehente ho toh subconsciously yeh aagya hai ki video daalna hai, which takes a lot of energy because I’m giving my exams for dance. I am a student also toh kahin na kahin mujhe who detachment bhi aati ahai ki bhyi ab yeh zyaada ho raha hai, mein seedha settings mein jaakar Instagram ya kisi bhi social media ke notifications block kardeti hoon – Yeh bhi mujhe apne aap ko bolna padhta hai.”
“Toh mujhe lagta hai inventions are very good, very helpful, its for the sake of mankind, addiction is dangerous. We have to make ourselves clear in the mindset that hum addicted toh nahi hai,” concluded Singh.
