MUMBAI: Actor Sanjay Gagnani is on cloud nine as his TikTok videos have crossed the one million views mark. The actor says that he is happy that people are loving him. “I have crossed the one million mark on TikTok. My show, Kundali Bhagya has added a lot to my popularity. I would like to thank all the people, all fans, viewers and audiences who have followed me on TikTok and Instagram after watching my work on Kundali Bhagya,” he says. 

The actor is very active on social media and posts a lot about his life, career and his pets. “I feel my audiences, my viewers and my fans have all the right to know about what's going on in my personal and professional life. It is not that I post 100% of what goes on in my personal and professional life, it is filtered to an extent. An actor's life cannot be like an open book. We all would want to carry a certain image in front of the public. I consider social media as a great platform where one has the freedom of expression, one can express the way they want to,” he says. 

The actor says that as public figures, they have a duty to keep their fans informed. “Apart from posting about my personal and professional life, I do take social media as a great took to fulfil my responsibilities as a public figure.  As an influencer, we are being heard, our actions are looked upon by a lot of people. They follow us. Actors are responsible for many things happening in society today. So, I do try my best to spread a lot of awareness by posting pictures and videos on social media. For example, during the winters, I have done a lot of posts on social media about various NGOs which are borrowing money from the public and helping the needy. Now, I post videos and photos to spread awareness on how to be safe and how to fight covid-19,” says Sanjay.
