Mehwish Hayat has advised young actors and actresses to keep their personal lives private and to avoid oversharing on social media.
As reported by Minute Mirror, the actress made the remarks while speaking on ARY Digital's programme Buzz, where she reflected on her career and on the growing role of social media in the entertainment industry.
According to the report, Mehwish said she has never been fond of posting frequently about her personal life online, and that she prefers to keep certain aspects of her life private rather than share every detail with the public.
Minute Mirror reports that she believes a sense of mystery is important for celebrities, and that she encouraged emerging artists to set boundaries between their public image and their private lives.
In her view, as relayed by the outlet, actors do not need to share everything happening in their lives to remain connected with their fans. Keeping some privacy can also help celebrities avoid unnecessary controversies and public scrutiny.
Her comments come at a time when social media has become an essential platform for celebrities to interact with audiences, promote their projects and build their public profiles.
