Ananya Panday marked Social Media Day with a brand new initiative - "Social Media For Social Good". Ananya, who started her own social media project in 2019 to raise awareness, has come up with a new series. On Wednesday, the 22-year-old actress opened about her new campaign, which will highlight the positive power of social media. In a video message, Ananya Panday revealed that her new social media initiative is a series titled "Social Media For Social Good" as part of which, she will interact with social media "heroes", the ones who helped gather resources and connect people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic during the second wave. "We often talk about the negative side of social media - the bullying, trolling and hatred. During the pandemic, I saw the power of people on social media - the humanity," read a part of Ananya Panday's post.
"Strangers helping strangers, sharing resources and information, saving lives. It reinforced my belief in kindness, compassion and empathy. 'Social media for social good' is a series in which I'm going to be talking to some of the 'Heroes' of social media who have used it positively and constructively for the good of society! Social media can be a kinder place - let's all do our part in making sure that happens," added Ananya Panday.
However, she is yet to reveal the details of her first episode in the "Social Media For Social Good" series. "Let social media be a revolution of hope, health and happiness always," said Ananya Panday. Take a look at her video here. Ananya's mother Bhavana Panday posted red hearts on her video.
In 2019, Ananya Panday launched her Digital Social Responsibility (DSR), a campaign to raise awareness against social media bullying. "A part of growing up is taking responsibility and as a woke millennial I, Ananya Panday introduce you all to my Digital Social Responsibility initiative 'So+'," she wrote.
