A veteran player Paresh Rawal no one can say his word. Although his popular performances have earned him a lot of respect over the years, his outspoken views on social media have often made him the subject of controversy. Looking back at the time, the actor admitted that his online presence did more harm than good. In a recent interview, Paresh spoke about his anger, complained about several of his tweets, and revealed that his habit of engaging on Twitter had also affected his health.Talking about his status, Paresh told Vickey Lalwani, “Look, I have nothing to gain from anyone, I don’t want to let anyone down. I am not driven by greed. Whatever I have, I already feel that God has given me more than enough. So I am not greedy. Why would I do this to someone? This is why I am direct and honest with everyone. “The actor also recounted an earlier incident in which he admitted to punching an audience member during a performance. Calling his behavior “stupid”, he said he regretted losing control. “Regarding what I said about hitting someone… what happened was that he kept passing the word. There was comment after comment, even to other actors. It turned into chaos, and then I got carried away. It was stupid. I jumped into it. I was completely wrong. It happened, but I won’t repeat it. I regret. I really do. An artist must be in control of himself and the situation. “Reflecting on his social media presence, Paresh admitted that one of his most criticized tweets – directed at the author. Arundhati Roy – should not be sent. “Yes, I wrote it. I don’t have to. I shouldn’t have said that.He revealed that he has now taken a long break from Twitter due to his mental and physical problems. “I almost stopped using Twitter now because it was harming my health a lot. In fact, my blood pressure shot up. My doctor told me clearly: don’t look at the news channels before going to bed, and don’t read the newspaper until noon after waking up. If there is an important matter that you need to know, it will find its way to you. You don’t have to sit there and pretend you’re the best at everything. “The actor admitted that he, too, contributed to the misunderstanding that is often associated with social norms. “A lot of people see social media as their dumping ground, and I’m responsible for that. People post whatever comes to their mind because they have a platform. No one is listening, so you just write it. I don’t abuse people. My sarcasm is sharp enough. I will never stop using profanity. But even with that insult, I shouldn’t have done it. That is very bad and poisonous.”Paresh reiterated his criticism of film critic Anupama Chopra for her review of ‘Dhurandhar’. Although he believed that the film needed a proper discussion, he said that criticism should always be constructive. “I felt Dhurandhar was a well-made film. Some people will like it, some won’t, that’s great. But then write about it. Give constructive criticism. That’s how it should be. Not the other way around. That’s what I thought was wrong.Explaining why he referred to Chopra as “Miss Irrelevant” in his post, the actor added, “Yes, but the truth is, nobody listens to what you have to say. You can write whatever you want, and it doesn’t change anything.” Instead, it becomes a bandwagon. Well, they’re doing their job, that’s fine. “When asked about the online abuse and threats that Chopra allegedly received after her tweet went viral, Paresh strongly condemned the behavior. “It’s wrong. You can’t treat someone like that. She’s a lady, you know. She’s an educated, cultured woman. She’s Vikram Chandra’s sister, for God’s sake.”He also remembered the kindness that both of them did Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Anupama Chopra after the argument, revealing that she later reached out to talk about her son’s career, the actor.
