Mumbai, July 8: Actor Emraan Hashmi opened up about the harsh realities of social media, acknowledging that trolling is a reality and advising people to take it with a bit of salt and not too seriously. Emraan, who plays the role of Raghu Khanna in the web series 'Showtime', shared: "I think there are two schools of thought, some actors want to put everything up in the public domain, to make their lives seem interesting, and some actors like to keep a certain compartmentalised way of viewing things, and they like their private lives to be private, and I come from that school of thought. However, none of them is right or wrong.
" Emraan feels that while social media can sometimes be intrusive, he doesn't see it as a big issue. "I've never had a situation where things have become intrusive, it never reached that point. I think even the press has been extremely courteous.
Through the 20 years of my career, I've never had a fact of that nature where they've been very intrusive about my privacy. But I'm sure some actors have had that, and as far as trolling goes, thankfully I have not been trolled to that point, but you have one of the instances when, first of all, I do check comments sometimes, but I'm not insistently on social media checking who's saying what about me," he said. Emraan added: "But yes, trolling is a reality.
I think it's just people who probably like criticising and they have some bone to pick with the world, and sometimes they're having something bad happen in t.
