South Indian actress Aishwarya Lekshmi, known for her standout roles in Tamil films like Ponniyin Selvan and Godfather, has made a bold move: she’s quitting social media for good. In a heartfelt post on her Instagram stories, the Chennai-based star explained why she’s stepping away from the digital world, calling it a “supernet” that controls too much of our lives.
Aishwarya shared that she once believed social media was essential for staying relevant in the film industry. “I thought it was necessary to keep up with the times,” she wrote. But over time, she realized it had flipped the script. Instead of helping her, it started demanding her attention, distracting her from real work and creative research.
The actress opened up about how social media stole her original ideas, messed with her vocabulary, and even dulled simple joys in life. “I refuse to fit into a generic mold and cater to the whims of this supernet,” she declared. As a woman in the spotlight, Aishwarya said she’s worked hard to resist the pressure of constant grooming and control. This decision, she added, feels like her first truly original thought in ages.
She’s fully aware of the risks— in today’s fast-paced world, going off Instagram could mean fading from fans’ minds. But Aishwarya is prioritizing her artistry and inner self. “I’m choosing absolute internet obsoleteness to stay original,” she said. She hopes this leads to deeper connections and better cinema. And if she delivers meaningful films, she wants the love the old-fashioned way—no likes or shares needed. “Yours Happily, Aishwarya Lekshmi.”
This isn’t the first time a South Indian actress has hit pause on social media. Just days ago, Anushka Shetty, famous for Baahubali and other hits, announced her break in a sweet handwritten note. “Trading blue light for candlelight… Stepping away to reconnect with the real world beyond scrolling,” she wrote. Anushka promised to return with more stories and love, urging fans to “smile always.”
Fans are buzzing about Aishwarya’s social media detox, with many praising her for choosing authenticity over algorithms. Will more celebrities follow suit in the Indian film industry? Only time will tell.
