Aastha Gill: It’s not right to put pressure on celebs about what to post or not to post on social media

Singer Aastha Gill feels it is wrong to troll celebrities just because they are posting happy pictures, and says that everyone has a right to live their life.

Be it the happy moments or pages from their travel diaries or fun bits from work, celebrities often try to keep their fans posted about what’s happening in their life through social media. But, a lot of time, they end up receiving flak for being insensitive towards the ongoing crisis. How is it related is something singer Aastha Gill wants to ask.

At the moment, singer Aastha Gill is riding high on the success of her recent track, Paani Paani.

“It’s not right to put this kind of pressure on celebrities when you know they’re putting out pictures and trying to spread happiness. People start trolling them because of that,” says Gill.

Stressing that everyone has a right to live their life the way they want to, the 30-year-old explains, “Someone posting a happy picture won’t affect anyone who’s not happy in their life. And it won’t fix anything that’s happening in one’s life right now. I don’t know how this is related, and that’s why I think it’s not a good thing for people to criticise celebs.”

The Kamariya (Stree, 2018) hitmaker recently returned from Cape Town, South Africa, where she was shooting for an adventure reality TV show. It was in May when she left the country for her professional commitment, and at that time too, a section of society called the celebrities out for “going out to enjoy” amid the second wave of Covid-19 crisis.

“Recording the song was different and difficult since Badshah wasn’t physically present, and turned out to be a new learning experience,” concludes Gill, adding that she has lined up “lots of singles and surprises”.
