Her comments come at a time when discussions surrounding a dance sequence from her recent film Chand Mera Dil have generated significant conversation online.
Ananya’s Approach to Online Negativity
In a recent interview, Ananya explained that she has learned not to let online negativity affect her as deeply as it once did.
The actress said her perspective has evolved over the years, leading her to focus more on personal growth and creating positive experiences rather than reacting to criticism.
According to Ananya, one of the practical steps she takes is muting social media accounts or pages that contribute to anxiety or negative emotions. She believes individuals should consciously shape their online experience by engaging with content that adds value and positivity to their lives.
Focus on Positive Digital Spaces
Ananya also highlighted the importance of healthy interactions on social media.
She noted that because people spend a significant amount of time online, the content they consume can have a real impact on their mental and emotional well-being.
The actress encouraged users to follow accounts and communities that inspire, educate or bring happiness rather than those that promote negativity.
Her initiative, So Positive, which initially focused on addressing online bullying and trolling, has evolved into a broader effort aimed at encouraging kindness and fostering healthier digital environments.
