Esha Deol on social media presence
In an exclusive interview with Zoom, speaking about its impact, Esha Deol said, “We were in this industry at a time when nothing like this existed, and yet we were well-known even in the smallest villages of our country. People knew us and our movies, and the reach was strong even then. Now, it’s more convenient, but you get over-bombarded with information—sometimes about things you don’t even want to know. It’s important to maintain a boundary when it comes to social media and decide how much you want to indulge in it.”
