“Everything has pros and cons. And, yes, everything has to be balanced. Information on social media is a blessing we have. A lot of information is there. In earlier days when I started my career, there was nothing like that. We used to do a lot of good work but not many knew about it. These days whatever we do comes on social media and people connect with us. I use social media for the sake of connecting. I take it as a tool. For youngsters, I would say that it should be used in a balanced way. It is not bad at all,” he says.
Many opine that youth can bring about a social change but many times their political views affect it. Agreeing, Ajay adds, “I also think that everybody has their own views about politics. In today’s political arena, a lot of young people are also coming and putting their ideas. It takes a long time to change and enforce. Change takes time and for the last 8-10 years it’s been good. The way our nation is advancing is really great and we are getting better and better.”
Do you feel the advancement in technology has made them lazy? “I don’t as it is an individual thing. Technology has no connection. Technology helps us but it all depends on how we react to it. Advancement in technology is really good unless we take it in a balanced way. Technology can’t make a person lazy or active,” he says.
The one advice that the actor would like to give today’s youth is that they should know about our customs, traditions, history and culture. “They should gain knowledge and use it in the right way as that can help them in taking our country to newer heights,” he adds.
