Questions arose on Samantha only
Grammy Award winning music director Ricky Cage also criticized Samantha. He supported Dr. Phillips in Samantha’s comment section and wrote, ‘A medical procedure is being advocated by a very influential personality, it can also be dangerous. This is an irresponsible act on her part. Especially when a celebrity advocates such things, it is not a big deal for fans and followers to get influenced. It is very important that such rules should be made that no celebrity can support any medical procedure. Being a celebrity, she cannot be irresponsible.’ At the same time, Jwala Gutta, wife of badminton player and Tamil film actor Vishnu Vishal, directly asked Samantha on social media that if the method of treatment that Samantha is advocating proves to be wrong, will she take responsibility for the fatal consequences?

‘Now I have to think before posting anything’
Of course, many celebrities have become quite aware of social media these days. Renowned actress Neena Gupta, who has more than a million followers on social media, is very active on Instagram. She says, ‘Whenever I share a post, I think whether it will harm anyone or will offend anyone. Sometimes you post something in anger or impulse, the consequences of which can be serious. I think that social media should be used in a good way, but at the same time you should be cautious. I am able to talk about the real Neena on my social media, but despite this, I have to speak there with a lot of fear. Otherwise, you may have to regret your post later.’
Artists need to be more alert
Experts believe that celebrities need to be careful before posting anything, because their posts affect a lot of people. Online, social media and cyber expert Prashant Mali says, ‘Well-known celebrities need to be more alert while posting on social media. They should also know legally what to post and what to avoid. Otherwise they can also get into legal trouble. If they are advising something on social media, then definitely check their facts or put a disclaimer. Do not make such statements on social media that defame someone or hurt their religious sentiments. Especially artists need to understand that their countless followers can be influenced by their social media.’
They have apologized
