Sooraj Pancholi, last seen in the historical drama Kesari Veer alongside Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Akanksha Sharma, has frequently been surrounded by controversies. Over the years, the actor has largely chosen to stay silent in the face of scrutiny, rarely responding to accusations.

Sooraj Pancholi reflects on social media pressure: “There are so many actors who do not have social media, and I am so jealous of them”

In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Sooraj Pancholi reflected on the impact of social media on the entertainment industry. Sharing his thoughts on actors who stay away from digital platforms, he said, “If it was up to me, I wouldn’t have social media. There are so many actors who do not have social media, and I am so jealous of them.”

He also highlighted how financial status significantly influences public perception of a star. He further added, “Everything can be managed by the amount you have in your bank, at least your visibility can be, and sometimes even your perception… Everybody is doing it.”

Sooraj also commended the younger generation of actors for their strategic use of social media and public relations. “They are very smart. I wish I thought like that. People like me can do damage control, but that’s about it. As for perception about me, pehle kaam to karoon (first let me do some work),” he shared.

Sooraj reflected on how the rise of social media has changed the perception of stardom, noting that earlier, there was a certain magic around actors since the public wasn’t privy to every detail of their lives. Now, with everything so accessible, that sense of wonder has diminished. “There are people as hardworking as the superstars. But social media has made everything so available now. Agar yeh nahi hota, people would have still been superstars. Mystery nahin hai ab (There is no mystery now). And there is nothing without it,” he said.

Sooraj was last seen in Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath (2025), a historical action drama based on the legendary battle of Somnath.
