The amount of fake news doing the rounds on social media has left actor Boman Irani worried.

“The fake news and messages are more infectious than the Coronavirus. It’s infecting us and only spreading negativity and fear,” rues Irani.

The actor says that even when he sits with his family, “at times, we do tend to discuss the forwarded messages that we get around this topic, and the predictions on how badly it’s going to affect us,” he says.

An optimist, Irani believes that positivity helps. “I take care of the happiness quotient of the family and keep everybody in a good mood, otherwise it’ll hit you hard,” he says adding, “It’s great fun to be with my grandkids.”

The actor is making the most of his time doing live sessions online. “Even at 60, I’m not going to stop myself from becoming tech-savvy and learning new things every day. I do hours of research for various live workshop sessions on photography and screenwriting,” he tells us.
