Actor Lataa Saberwal has been working in the entertainment industry for several years now. She is a known face on the television and has also done several movies as well. Lataa was also a part of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as well as the spin-off show, Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke. However, it has been a while since she has been seen in any new project.

In a recent interview with ETimes Tv, Lataa mentioned how she doesn’t feel like being a part of the ‘rat race’. She shared, “There was a time when I was also a part of this rat race. I used to constantly check social media and keep updating my account, hoping that my subscribers would increase and people would comment on my posts. Everyday it was about posting something and checking people’s comments, whether they liked my post or not. It became so competitive that I finally decided to take it easy, says Lataa. “I realised that life is much more than just a social media platform. My life and my identity as Lataa Saberwal couldn’t be ruled by a few likes or updates that I put on social media. Earlier, it was Facebook, now it is Instagram, tomorrow it will be some other platform, but I have learnt that social media does not drive your life.”

Talking about how there is more to life than social media, she adds, “And by that, I don’t mean to belittle anyone who is using these platforms to promote their work or themselves. I’m active on some too and feel it is a great tool for marketing and promotion or collaborations. Just that I don’t let it drive my sanity. I also believe that if you are an influencer on social media, there are many other subjects like education and growth, which can be promoted. Having said that, I have nothing against reels, posts, or anything that one likes to post, the idea is, it should not govern your life,” she added.

When asked about how actors feel about being cast on the basis of their online presence, she said, “I don’t know how far it is true because even after quitting TV last year, I still get calls for auditions. I am not posting anything around showbiz but offers haven’t stopped. I feel if you work with sincerity and focus on your craft, social media followers should not be a parameter for getting a role.”

Saberwal is currently being considered to essay an important role in the upcoming film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
