While promoting War 2 in Colombo, the actor opened up about his decision to step away from social media. He said, “I deleted the app." Stating why he took such a step, he mentioned, “I understood the perils of constantly being online. The one piece of advice I would give everyone is to try a social media detox for at least a week. I did, and it led to so many realisations. Something in me switched. I became more aware of how much time I actually have, and what it feels like to just be bored, to simply exist, it was enlightening."
