After Aamir Khan, Sushant Singh takes a break from social media: ‘Need to reboot’
Actor Sushant Singh has decided to take a break from social media. Sharing a post late on Monday night, The Legend of Bhagat Singh actor shared that he wanted to ‘reboot’ himself.
His Twitter account as of now is inaccessible and shows ‘This account doesn’t exist’. However, the actor posted a screenshot of his last tweet on his Instagram page that reads, “Taking a break from social media platforms. Need to reboot.”
Fans had mixed response to his decision as they shared their take on his ‘break’. A follower Sayyonie wrote “Ye bhi bahut zaroori hai,” supporting him, while another user Sameer replied, “Yeh bhi thik hai…zeher hi zeher ho rakha hai sab jagah… (It’s fine as it’s toxic everywhere on social media).” However, there were many who questioned him and requested to stay put. A few of his followers also cheekily added that he was getting his phone and software updated.
On Monday, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan also decided to hang up his boots on social media. Given that he is not active, Khan shared that he wanted to ‘drop the pretence’. In his ‘last post’, the actor shared, “Hey guys, thank you so much for all the love and warmth on my birthday. My heart is full. In other news, this is going to be my last post on social media. Considering that I am SO active anyway I have decided to drop the pretence. We will continue to communicate as we did before. In addition, AKP has created its official channel! So future updates on me and my films can be found there. Here’s the official handle! @akppl_official. Lots of love, always, a. ”
