There are many actors who went on social media detox
Before Shetty Kundra, Sonakshi Sinha had bid adieu to Twitter in June 2020, citing mental health reasons. Soon after, Saqib Saleem quit Twitter, too, stating that it was a place where abuse was a code of conduct. Amid the second COVID-19 wave, Amit Sadh deemed it incorrect to post his pictures while the nation was undergoing a turbulent time, and went off social media.
