Ssumier Pasricha aka Pammi aunty recently went all out while responding to a tweet by Anupam Kher, when the latter rued losing 80,000 followers in 36 hours on Twitter. Pasricha feels this isn’t the time to crib about losing followers as many faced loss of lives in the Coronavirus pandemic.

“There are so many who’ve lost their family members and friends. I thought people must have learnt that there’s more to life than just social media and fame,” reasons Pasricha.

The 41-year-old adds that the veteran actor didn’t need to do this. “Mr Kher became a legend before Twitter and Instagram. If he worries about small things, then his young followers will go into depression that, ‘Hamare followers nahin hain, hum kaam kaise karein’. People call me a social media star, but I’m not bothered about followers,” says the actor.

He adds that 90% of celebrities have fake followers and urges people to “evolve” and not be “trapped” in this whole social media scenario. “I have nothing against Mr Kher. But it looked funny that a person of his stature comes and says, ‘Followers kam ho gaye’. Are you kidding me? Agar aapko bhi inn cheezon se farak padh raha hai, then you need to work on it. I can’t say more than that” he ends.
