Vijayendra Kumeria: I Lost Out On Big Projects Because I Don바카라�t Have Million Followers On Social Media

Today, social media has become a yardstick to gauge their popularity and also a governing factor while casting for projects. More often than not, people with an impressive following on social media are preferred over talented actors. Vijayendra Kumeria, who became a household name as Suraj in 바카라�Udaan바카라� and then in 바카라�Naagin바카라�, was last seen in 바카라�Mose Chhal Kiye Jaaye바카라�, speaks up about this new norm of social media followers.

바카라�Yes, people do take your social media following into account, especially when you are offered projects from the OTT domain or music videos. It바카라�s quite hilarious that your social media following is being considered an important tool to assess your talent as an artist. I don바카라�t care about it much but I have to admit that I lost out on a few projects from good banners because I don바카라�t have an impressive following on social media. I am happy with my organic following and will not resort to various tactics at an actor바카라�s disposal to artificially amplify my popularity,바카라� he says.

While social media bridges the gap between the actor and his audience, it can also expose them to a lot of toxicity, comparisons, and judgments. Vijayendra Kumeria has a solution for it 바카라� to reduce its consumption. He says, 바카라�I spend just an hour. I like watching reels and funny content. Having said that, when you are on it, there is no escaping sensitive, cringe content and trolling. That bothers me a lot.바카라�

Many complain that what one sees on social media may not always be true. Does it expose our double standard? The actor agrees, 바카라�Yes, most of the people are fake and everybody is putting up an act. Only a handful are real. In my case, there will be glimpses of my life on social media but I will not put everything out there in a bid to grab attention. It has become a necessity these days to be active on social media otherwise you experience FOMO.바카라�
