Choti Sarrdaarni Actress Shivangi Verma: It’s Important To Pause Before Believing What You See Online

In today's fast-moving digital age, Shivangi Verma who is known for her performance in shows like Tera Ishq Mera Fitoor and Choti Sarrdaarni and web series like Yeh Hai Sanak and Hasratein 3 reflects on how news consumption has changed and what it means for audiences.

Speaking about her own habits, she says, "Earlier, news was something you watched at a fixed time, with full attention. Now, it reaches you anytime, anywhere. It's more convenient, but also less focused."

She adds that while access to information has improved, it has also created a sense of overload. "We are constantly updated, but not always fully informed. Sometimes we just react to headlines without understanding the complete story," she explains.

Talking about the rise of social media platforms like X, she says, "I don't believe everything instantly. If something feels too dramatic or shocking, I prefer to wait and cross-check it with reliable sources. Taking a pause before reacting has become very important today."

She further shares her thoughts on how the nature of news itself has evolved. "Earlier, news felt more direct and factual. Now, it often includes opinions, which can sometimes blur the line between fact and interpretation," she says. "As viewers, we need to be more aware and responsible in how we consume it."

When asked about her preference between traditional and modern formats, she says, "I think both have their own value. Traditional news had depth and credibility, while today's platforms offer speed and accessibility. The key is to find a balance between the two."

In a time of constant notifications and breaking updates, she believes it is important to protect one's mental space. "I try to stay selective about what I consume. It's not necessary to know everything at once," she adds. "Taking breaks and disconnecting helps avoid feeling overwhelmed."

Summing up her approach, she says, "Staying informed is important, but so is maintaining your peace of mind."
