Bollywood actor Saif Ali is one of those film stars who stays away from social media. There is a reason behind this also. Saif Ali Khan says that he maintains distance from social media to protect himself from negativity. Saif Ali Khan is neither present on 'X' (Twitter) nor on social media platforms like 'Instagram'. He said that social media wastes people's precious time and they can do other important things instead of using it.
'Sometimes I surf Instagram'
He said, 'My personal opinion is that this wastes a lot of time. I would sometimes surf Instagram and spend half an hour reading completely useless things. My wife told me that I am not doing the right thing. I also felt that I had wasted a lot of my time, when I could have used it reading a book or doing other important things. After this I deleted this app itself.
'It's dangerous for a person like me'
Saif said at 'India Today Mumbai Conclave 2024', 'It (social media) really wastes a lot of your time. I don't like it because it's dangerous for a person like me. Apart from this, I want to stay away from negativity. Its danger is looming on social media. So sometimes I feel that this is not right for me.
“I like the balance between work and vacation.”
He said that he is satisfied with the work he is doing and the money he is earning. Khan said, 'I like to strike a balance between work, holidays and leisure. This gives me a lot of peace.
'On Instagram you compare yourself to others to a great extent'

His wife Kareena Kapoor Khan is counted among the most followed celebrities on social media in India. Saif Ali Khan said that not being on social media is a good thing and it does not affect his 'brand value' as an artiste.
'I request my wife to do so'

They don't like taking pictures of their kids
Referring to the relationship between 'celebrities' and the media, Khan said that he does not like the media taking pictures of him and his children all the time. But he also said that Indian media does not publish embarrassing pictures of 'celebrities' like the media of America and Britain.
