MUMBAI: In the high-stress realm of reality television, responding to internet trolls and criticism is just one aspect of the job. Siwet Tomar, a contestant on Splitsvilla X5, has learnt to handle the onslaught of trolls and derogatory remarks by using a straightforward but efficient tactic: disabling his notifications. Siwet talked candidly about how he handles the unavoidable criticism that comes with being in the spotlight in a recent interview.
Siwet learned early on that fame has its share of difficulties as a competitor on one of the most well-liked reality shows in India, particularly in the digital age when everyone has an opinion.
On dealing with hate Siwet said, “When you're on a show like Splitsvilla X5, you're constantly under the microscope. People judge you based on every little thing you do, and they aren't shy about expressing their opinions online. At first, it was overwhelming.”
He added, “I simply turn off my notifications” Adding, “It's a small thing, but it makes a huge difference. I don't need to see every single comment, especially when it's just people trying to bring me down. It's not worth my time or energy.”
He added, “I focus on the support I receive from my fans and loved ones. Their encouragement means the world to me, and that’s what I choose to focus on. At the end of the day, you can't please everyone, and that’s okay."
He concluded, "For anyone dealing with trolls or hate comments, my advice is simple: protect your peace," Siwet concluded. "Turn off your notifications, focus on the positives, and keep moving forward. Life is too short to let negativity hold you back.”
