Kareena Kapoor Khan had finally made her debut on social media last year and she was showered with love by her fans. But, it is no secret that the dark web can be ugly which is full of anonymity, violence and trolls. Looks like Kareena has got it all down when it comes to facing these trolls and she has also given advice to her husband Saif Ali Khan on how to ignore them. Saif Ali Khan is soon to be seen in the movie Bhoot Police with Arjun Kapoor and in an exclusive chat with us, we asked the two lead stars how are they dealing with the dark and web and how are they keeping trolls at bay.
Saif Ali Khan told Bollywood Bubble, “There is something about social media which is so dangerous. There is so much anonymity you dont know who is talking to whom. SO people throw a lot of violence around and stuff like that. So it can get a little wrong.” Arjun Kapoor added, “It’s the same people who follow you so it is very confusing. It’s interesting that they actually just want attention. I feel social media is just one part of my life as a human being, as an actor, as a star. When I go out when I meet people there is love to be given. When people meet me they talk to me, like Faraar or any film that they have seen. It’s like when I was shooting Bhoot Police, after all this, we went to shoot in Covid, we went to Dalhousie, it is a very small moment and it made me realise that there is more to life than trolls.”
The Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar actor said that his car was behind Saif’s at a toll stand in Dalhousie and the guy in charge recognised Saif and him, “I was like hey not bad. I am sitting in Mumbai I dont know where my work reaches. That is recognition.” Saif continued, “Sometimes when people who are not well off, people begging on the streets, even in Mumbai sometimes when they see us, they go into a dance. Like you make people smile in this profession. I think that is a great gift.”
Saif said he does not read things on social media after getting advice from his wife Kareena Kapoor, “I dont read it. I am off it and It is really cool. Because it also helps me focus, it can get addictive you know. I can google myself and start checking out what I said when and then I read something I dont like and it spoils my mood. My wife told me,’ you know what just stop doing it’. I had stopped for a while and I really started saying what do I do.”
