Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan recently took a break from social media. A few days ago, he shared that he ‘re-installed’ Instagram just to praise comedian-actor Vir Das for his latest Netflix stand-up
special, Fool Volume. Now, while promoting War 2 in Colomobo, the actor opened up about his break from social media. He urged people to try a social media detox for at least a week, revealing that it led to many realizations for him. He said that the detoz made him more aware of how much time he actually has, and that it was enlightening.
Speaking about his decision to step away from social media, Hrithik Roshan said, “I deleted the app.” He further explained, “I understood the perils of constantly being online. The one piece of advice I would give everyone is to try a social media detox for at least a week. I did, and it led to so many realisations. Something in me switched. I became more aware of how much time I actually have, and what it feels like to just be bored, to simply exist, it was enlightening.”
Meanwhile, when asked whether he ever googled himself, the War 2 actor replied, “Of course and I cannot even tell you the things I have found! As a celebrity you have to check”, he said with a laugh.
Looks like Hrithik is back on Instagram after a brief social media detox. He recently shared a video of his mother Pinkie Roshan acing the hook step of Aavan Jaavan, the first song from his upcoming film War 2.
“You know the song is a chart buster when your mom spends a day learning the hook and looks a million bucks while doing it ! Mama you are amazing I love you,” he wrote.
Hrithik Roshan is gearing up for the release of War 2. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced under the YRF Spy Universe banner, War 2 is being touted as 2025’s biggest film. The film will feature Hrithik Roshan face-off against Jr NTR. Kiara Advani also has a key role in the film. It will release in theatres on August 14, 2025.
