Lara Dutta urges youth to prioritise mental health over social media glamour, says 'celebs wear borrowed clothes 99% of the time¡¯

In the era when most of our lives are somewhat influenced by celebrities and social media influencers, actor and Miss Universe Lara Dutta, on a recent podcast with Queenie Singh's Beauty by BiE, revealed the reality behind a celebrity life.

In the podcast, Lara said that the actors want the younger generation to know that social media influencers and celebrities wear borrowed clothes most of the time and that what looks like reality is not real.

Lara Dutta urges the young generation to focus on authenticity

Further, the Don 2 actress spoke on the authenticity and transparency of the celebrities; she urged the younger generation to not believe in whatever is shown to them.

A lot of actors and actresses come to every event, award show, and big wedding dressed glamorously, but all the designer clothes, hair, makeup, and jewellery are 99.9 per cent the time borrowed.

Lara Dutta highlights the importance of mental health among young minds

It is a fact that celebrities and influencers wear borrowed clothes, and it is crucial to recognize the impact of this practice on young minds as they are so actively using social media.

She also mentions that the younger generation is obsessed with how they look, and it affects their mental health to a great extent. She says that everything is doctored nowadays.

Impact of social media looks scary

Giving an example about her own nieces, Lara Dutta says it is scary because not just girls but boys as well are so caught up in this instant gratification that social media seems to be presenting to them, so much so that they forget the fact that they themselves are putting millions of filters on their photos.

Hence, we need to raise our children in such a way that they grow stronger and better, says Lara Dutta.
