“Starting with the 2012 Nirbhaya case, it never stops and it has been continuously disturbing us,” the actor said. While reacting to the social media’s approach to this issue, Nani said that he was scared to scroll on social media platform X because the visuals or the news could disturb him for the rest of the day.

He also added, “So, we are in this social media boom, everyone is on social media, doing so many things. I think that anything that goes to a peak will start coming down.”
