Previously, in an interaction with NDTV, Khushi Kapoor talked about her take on social media. She admitted being exposed to it right from a very young age, and as a result, she has seen a fair side of its negative effects. Moreover, she added how such an early exposure made her learn to remain desensitised towards it. In her words:
“Unfortunately, I think I was exposed to a lot of it (Social media) from a very young age, so I’ve been kind of desensitised to a lot of it. You learn to differentiate when you read something, whether it stems from someone else’s insecurity. Now, I’ve learned not to take it so much to heart. I don’t really go through everything and overthink it as much as I used to before. Seeing it a lot from a young age has helped me differentiate it now. I value other people’s opinions more who mean more to me, as I know it’s coming from a better place.”
