I don’t read trolls: Shriya on social media hate over PDA
Ashish Kumar Singh (HINDUSTAN TIMES; December 18, 2022)

Apart from making waves with her performances in box-office hits such as RRR and Drishyam 2, Shriya Saran has also been making headlines for her personal life. The actor, who recently got trolled for packing PDA with husband Andrei Koscheev on red carpet events, says ignorance is bliss when it comes to social media trolls.

“It (PDA) is very innocent. I don’t know if I have hurt some people; then I am sorry. But I don’t read trolls at all,” says the actor, who will soon be seen in two projects — Music School and Kabzaa.

On the work front, the 40-year-old says she is excited to see if she gets more work in Bollywood after being a part of the Ajay Devgn-starrer. “I just hope something nice comes my way. I would love to work in my mother tongue but I am partial towards both Bollywood and South cinema. I have grown up learning Hindi and I have grown up getting a lot of love from South. I have learnt cinema in South and the language I speak is Hindi,” she tells us.

She further points out how actors from Bollywood have also shifted to the south film industry. “The lines have merged now,” says Saran adding, “One good thing that happened with Covid-19 was people had a lot of time to consume new content. And, then it did not matter what language the content is in. Eventually, you realize there is no point you confine to one language because honestly, it does not matter. The subject is what matters and people are now willing to experiment.”
