Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi spoke about her choice to take a break from social media and the impact this decision has had on her personal life. The actor, who was once active on social media, is now choosing to distance herself from the endless stream of people’s opinions and comments. This decision has resulted in a broader discussion regarding the pressure actors experience on social media.
Aishwarya Lekshmi says quitting social media has given her peaceAishwarya Lekshmi revealed that leaving social media has brought her a sense of peace she did not have earlier. Speaking in a conversation with News X, she said she is currently in a much happier place and no longer feels the need to constantly follow what is happening online. “Everything is falling into place now. I am happy with where I am in my life. I have a lot more peace of mind now than I did when I was on social media,” the actress said. She also admitted that some of the issues that pushed her to leave the platforms still exist, but she no longer has to constantly see or be affected by them.
Aishwarya Lekshmi says she can see the same social media problemsThe actress stressed that stepping away does not mean the problems that troubled her have disappeared. “I can still see that the things that made me leave social media exist to a certain extent. But at least I am not constantly looking at them or getting affected by them,” Aishwarya said. She also acknowledged that social media has created new opportunities for independent creators and artists. Pointing to Kerala-based Instagram creator Hashir, she noted how digital platforms can help talented people build an audience and eventually find opportunities in cinema. However, she said the professional benefits were no longer enough to make her stay.
Aishwarya Lekshmi says personal well-being matters more than social mediaAishwarya’s comments came during a discussion that also featured producer Soundarya Rajinikanth , who offered a different perspective on the role of social media in the film industry. Soundarya said social media remains an important professional tool, especially for producers who want to understand audience reactions to trailers and films. At the same time, she acknowledged that personal attacks can make these platforms difficult for actors. Aishwarya, meanwhile, summed up her decision simply: “I can see that side of it too. But personally, I feel I have had enough of it.” For the actress, stepping away appears to be less about rejecting social media completely and more about choosing a calmer space for herself.
