Sagar Parekh on social media scrutiny
“I won't pretend it doesn't affect me. We are all human. When you are in a public profession, people form opinions very quickly, sometimes without knowing your journey, your struggles or your reality. Earlier, comparisons and trolling used to bother me more because, as an actor, you naturally question yourself all the time, at least I do. Because that is something I use as a tool for growth, also,” he said.
