Shah Rukh Khan: Social media toxicity affects collective narrative, makes it divisive and destructive

At the inauguration ceremony of the 28th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) Shah Rukh Khan on Thursday said that social media is often driven by a narrowness of views that "enclose" collective narrative and makes it more divisive and destructive.

"This sense of negativity often increases the social media consumption and such pursuits often enclose collective narrative and makes it more divisive and destructive," Khan further added, "I hope that festivals like KIFF and a city like Kolkata can emerge as the beginning of this positivity at this point of time."

Khan will next be seen in his upcoming film Pathaan co-starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The film releases on January 25, 2023
