Malavika Mohanan told IANS, “Too much scrolling on my phone dumbs me down (laughs). I can see it affecting my work in the sense my mind struggles to be present in a scene on days when I spend too much time on social media”. The actress said that the brain fog kicks in because of social media, technology usage or screen exposure which she recognised over the past year. She further mentioned, “When I’m filming, I try to stay away from phones as much as possible, even if you are getting bored, it’s okay, get bored but it will allow you to focus on your work”. When asked if social media is an occupational hazard for actors given that they are required to put content on social media for fan engagements, she said, “It is a very catch 22 situation, an actor can’t stay away from social media in these times but balance is the key”.

00:00I'll tell you what dumps me down, too much scrolling on the phone.
00:09I can see it affecting my work.
00:11I can see it affecting my mind, it's struggling to be present in a scene, talking specifically
00:17about how it affects my work, my art.
00:19I can't be present, it's that restlessness, it's the jitteriness, it's the brain fog
00:24that kicks in with too much of social media, too much of technology usage or screen exposure.
00:30That happens to me quite a lot, which I recognised over the last year or so and I've been actively
00:36trying to, especially when I'm filming, I try to stay away from phones as much as possible
00:41so that you're there, you're present, even if you're getting bored, it's okay, get bored.
00:49Absolutely, it's like very Catch-22, you have to do that also, but then if you're doing
00:53that, so we go into phases, like when I'm shooting, I try to stay away from it, but
00:57then you're on promotions and you have so much content that has to go up, you're obviously
01:00on it a lot more, but something that exercises the brain for me, I would say, is reading.
01:06I'm an avid reader and I feel like the more, I've experienced that a lot, you know, like
01:10if I read continuously for like two, three weeks, I can see it helping my work because
01:13we're oiling the machine inside, right?
01:15And we're also oiling our imagination constantly, and as an actor, that's what you have to do,
01:20you're constantly imagining, so that's something that really helps.
