These days you can underestimate the power of the conventional media but you cannot do the same with social media. In fact, the impact of social media has become stronger and sensitivity to that has increased. This is more so if you are a film celebrity.
Hence, it is important to be careful about what you say on public platforms because that can hit you through the social media. Recently, the top lyricist Anantha Sriram shared few thoughts with a contestant regarding the origin of the word hello and the meaning of the song Au Tuzho Mou Karta from the movie 1-Nenokkadine.
It turns out that he shared this info relying on the web which is not actually true. Hence, it is important to verify the authenticity before saying anything. Currently, he is getting slammed by few social media geeks for the lack of knowledge on few things and yet speaking about them.
