Embracing social media more than usual
Actor Alaya F, a selfconfessed “workaholic”, is “dying to get back to a routine”, and to her various classes. But she feels only positivity will emerge after the Covid-19 phase ends.
The Jawaani Jaaneman actor tells us, “People are going to come out a lot more motivated. They’re dying to get back to their jobs and do what they love to do. They’ll come back more energised and connected to themselves and to people around them.”
On her increased social media activity, replete with fun videos and intricate artwork, she says, “I’m not one of those people who’re over enthusiastic about it, but it’s an important part of what I do. I’m embracing it more than I would normally do. I also enjoy looking at other people putting out posts as I think the intent is to spread happiness.”
Alaya, daughter of actor Pooja Bedi, even has a message for all. “For youngsters today, especially in fast-paced cities like Mumbai, there’s so much pressure. Such little time to do so much and such little time to spend with yourself. You lose touch with who you are. Now when we’re forced to spend time with ourselves... people are going to come out refreshed and more grateful,” she says.
