Saumya Tandon on a digital detox!

TV actress Saumya Tandon currently seen in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai has gone on a complete mobile and internet detox. Now, she is using her cell phone and internet only for one hour a day! She says, “On an average all of us keep connected to the virtual/phone world for 15-16 hours. It’s like a crazy influx of information and data, updating friends about oneself and keeping up with their updates.”

She feels that people are unable to spend enough time with friends and family as they are either on their phones or internet. “When I go back home, my husband is busy with phone calls and the internet till the time he sleeps. Even dinner is not with conversation and laughter, but with TV and phone constantly in between us. Not only that, when I am sitting free in my room in between shots or at home on a holiday, I am checking my mobile for group chats, FB updates, Insta and Twitter. I feel like a slave to the tech age. If I go out with friends, at least one of us is constantly on phone all the time, it’s sad,” she laments.Saumya has taken a vow to free herself from this addiction. “I plan to write in my free time which I always used to do, read more. I want to get back to life with more meaning,” she signs off.
