Sharing his own anxiety about the barrage of negative news, he asked his followers if they felt the same. He wrote, “Is everyone else getting anxious seeing only bad news on the gram??? Have seriously considered a detox!”

Before starting his digital detox, Karan’s last post featured Bollywood star Alia Bhatt in a still from a video wishing everyone a Happy Republic Day. He also used his platforms to celebrate the success of recent Bollywood releases, Dhurandhar starring Ranveer Singh and Border 2 featuring Sunny Deol.

Karan expressed his optimism about Bollywood’s resilience. He shared that the box office performance of these films indicates the industry is here to stay.
