Interactio­ns per day: Sakshi sticks to the heart button on comments, and replies to 10-20 comments per day. She used to reply to every IG comment, but stopped after realising that the negative feedback was ruining her entire day. The rule with followers: “Not replying to random DMS. I respond to genuine messages and queries, besides reposting everything viewers tag me in,” she says. Fan meets and QNA: “None. I’m a hugger and physical affection should be given to viewers personally. AMA (ask me anything) is once a month or once in twothree weeks.”

Fan pages: “I’m aware of six, don’t follow them. I get five to six fan art portraits, videos or digital art every day,” she adds.

Body positivity champion Sakshi recently launched her own clothing line with the world. They are the focal points that the youth of India is gravitatin­g towards.
