Bollywood's Karan Johar takes a break from social media, citing a need for a 'digital detox'. The renowned filmmaker, known for his production company and Instagram presence, has announced a week-long absence from Instagram and other platforms. This decision comes after a recent setback with his film 'Homebound', which missed out on the Oscars shortlist. Johar's post on Instagram Stories expressed his determination to disconnect, emphasizing the importance of a break from the digital world. This move follows his previous decision to quit Twitter during the pandemic due to perceived toxicity. Johar's recent post also addressed the online trolls targeting actor Varun Dhawan, showcasing his commitment to supporting his friends and speaking out against online harassment. As a journalist and entertainment specialist, Abhimanyu Mathur reflects on the impact of such breaks and the ongoing debate around social media's influence on the film industry.
