Aishwarya Lekshmi Quits Social Media, Says ‘Not Even ₹100 Crore Can Bring Me Back’
Aishwarya Lekshmi has made a powerful statement on the toxicity of online toxicity and has announced that she has quit social media completely. She said not even an offer of ₹100 crore would make her want to go back and her peace of mind is worth far more than fame or money.
Aishwarya had been through years of cyberbullying in her life that she felt all the years of cyberbullying, body shame and online negativity on a daily basis had a huge effect on her mental health. Despite being one of the most popular South Indian cinema stars and actresses, she was getting many of the most abusive comments and personal attacks on social media.
As an individual, the actress said people regularly criticized her appearance, posted hurtful words and even circulated morphed images, so that the whole online environment had become toxic. The negativity became too much for her and she had to give up on social media and use other sites.
Aishwarya says that getting away from social media has totally transformed her life. She described the change as incredibly liberating and says she feels lighter and calmer and genuinely happier now that she has completely escaped the noise and criticism of people on social media that she has had for so long.
But the actress admitted that she still updates herself occasionally—not through her own accounts. She uses her dog’s social media account to get a look in and keep herself updated without having to deal with the pressure to keep a public online presence.
At a time when celebrities are required to be on social media 24/7 to promote movies, interact with fans, build their brand and build their profile, it's clear that Aishwarya chose her career as a film director at a time when people are constantly on the move in public media.
The actress’s comments have led to debate online, and a lot of people commended her for her courage to put her emotional needs above popularity on social media. A lot of other people have said her experience is indicative of the darker side of digital platforms—anonymity breeds harassment and personal attacks.
Cyberbullying has become a huge problem for celebrities and for all kinds of people. Experts and educational leaders have repeatedly emphasized that there has to be a lot more safety in online spaces and that respectful interaction should be promoted instead of the kind of hate we’re used to from hate.
For Aishwarya Lekshmi, the decision is final. She has made it clear that it’s inner peace, real-life connections, and happiness that matter more than online validation. Her story is a reminder that social media is sometimes the best thing and peace of mind is really priceless.
