Bollywood star Akshay Kumar talks about negative aspects of social media
Social media as a medium has its positives and negatives. When asked about the same in an interview, Akshay Kumar said that social media has become a business in recent days. The Mission Raniganj actor claimed the users post meaningless videos which are catered to the viewers to gain likes. Akshay claimed that many people earn more than 6 lakhs to 8 lakhs from social media alone.
“Social media ek bahut bada jariya ho gaya hai jaha paise bhi milte hai. Lots of people don’t even mean what they are saying but just to start the conversation and have more likes… Aaj kitne saare log mahine ka 6 se leke 7 lakh, 8 lakh kama rahe hai? Just because of writing something, saying something, going against something. It is now become a business,” said Akshay Kumar in the interview.
Akshay further claimed that the things that go trending do not represent the feelings of the people. Akshay said that not everything that comes on social media is real. “Joh trend hota hai, it is not the real feeling of people… People feel in a different way. It is better to just keep on being in your life and work and not follow what is being written on social media. Yeah, some people say it honestly also,” added Akshay.
Mixed response to Akshay Kumar’s statement
The statement of Akshay became viral on social media. The content got big attention on Reddit, where the users had different opinions. One of the users commented, “There are two kinds of people some people really mean what they say some people are doing it because they are doing it as business.” Another user felt that Akshay answered like an Engineering student.
“Akshay answered like an engg student. Pick the common keyword from question and write everything you know about that even if the question is focusing on something else.” Another user added, “He is right though. Social media does damage one’s mental peace, so it’s better to not take it seriously,” agreeing with Akshay. Another user wrote, “Kya ye business nhi krta social media parr??.. Ye podcast bhi ek tarah ka business hai.”

“Intelligent Stubbornness”: Manoj Bajpayee on Chasing Dreams and Staying Relevant
How does the son of a farmer from a small village in Bihar rise to stardom in the bustling and competitive world of Mumbai’s film industry? For Manoj Bajpayee, the answer lies in being “intelligently stubborn.”
The versatile actor, known for roles ranging from Bhiku Mhatre in Satya to Srikant Tiwari in The Family Man, attributes his success to his ability to navigate challenging circumstances without losing sight of his dreams. Speaking to PTI, Bajpayee reflected on his journey, which began in the village of Belwa and led to a celebrated career in both mainstream and arthouse cinema.
“You have to be intelligently stubborn and audacious,” Bajpayee shared. “Circumstances and situations will test you constantly and make you doubt yourself. But commitment to your dreams is what keeps you going.”
After his breakthrough role in Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 underworld drama Satya, Bajpayee was inundated with offers to play similar roles. However, he was determined not to be typecast. “I was stubborn about not getting boxed into one type of role. The industry didn’t know what else to offer me, so they offered money. But I refused. I knew that if I became a villain, I might never escape that image,” he explained.
Bajpayee’s calculated defiance set him apart. Inspired by the careers of other actors like Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Kay Kay Menon, he charted a unique path, taking on diverse roles in films such as Shool, Gangs of Wasseypur, Aligarh, and Sonchiriya. His adaptability extended to digital platforms, with standout performances in Gulmohar and The Family Man.
Growing up as one of six siblings, Bajpayee dreamed of acting despite his family’s limited means. At 17, he moved to Delhi, pursued education to honor his mother’s wishes, and immersed himself in theatre before heading to Mumbai. His persistence bore fruit with a small role in Drohkaal (1994) and recognition in Bandit Queen. His big break came with Satya, which not only launched his career but also inspired countless others from Bihar to chase their dreams.
“It wasn’t just my village; many young people from Bihar gained the courage to step out of their comfort zones after Satya. It showed them that if I could do it, they could too,” he said.
Despite his success, Bajpayee remains connected to his roots in Belwa. “When I was there, I wanted to leave. Now that I’ve achieved my dreams, I feel drawn back.”
Bajpayee’s upcoming project, Despatch, where he plays investigative journalist Joy Bag, will premiere on ZEE5 on December 13. His journey, defined by resilience and intelligent stubbornness, continues to inspire dreamers across the country.
