Social media thrives on masculinity
in an interview with graziaJanhvi said, “What I understand about social media culture is that everyone wants prominence, views and virality, so if they are creating content about you, you are just a scapegoat, they are just using your name to further their involvement for clickbait, rage bait and whatever.”

He explained that the motivation behind most negative content is not personal, but driven by online engagement and attention. Understanding this makes it easier not to internalize criticism or let it affect one’s mental health, he said.
‘There is no excuse for bullying’
The actress then talked about how she has seen Arjun get harassed online and said, “Of course, it hurts to be misunderstood, or when it turns into bullying and harassment, as I have sometimes seen happen with my brother, and there is no excuse for that kind of behavior. Negativity breeds negativity, and you just have to distance yourself from it.”
In recent months, users have noticed an increase in negative comments on Arjun’s Instagram, with many posts criticizing his acting and films.
