From a long time the members of the film fraternity have considered the social media to be a boon because it is the best platform for them to connect to their fans and followers. At the same time, it is also the best tool to create a buzz and publicity for themselves.
While that may be true even today, the same social media is slowly transforming into a bane for the cine folks. At least this is the opinion they are giving. In the recent past, many celebrities had to go through tough times due to an unintentional tweet or statement.
Added to that, the increase in the number of fake pictures and other images involving them is causing a lot of stress to them, especially the actors and actresses. But the seasoned cine folks say social media has become a necessary evil and they just have to learn to live with it.
