He also expressed admiration for 'Homebound' director Neeraj Ghaywan after the film missed out on a nomination at this year's Academy Awards.

Respectfully, it's easy for a celebrity to announce a detox when they have teams managing their image. For the common person, disconnecting is much harder with work and family pressures. The sentiment is right, but the reality is different.

As someone who moved to India for work, I've noticed the 24/7 social media culture here is intense. Karan is setting a good example. Mental health is important, yaar.

It's sad 'Homebound' missed the Oscar nod, but it's a brilliant film. Glad Karan acknowledged Neeraj Ghaywan. Sometimes the recognition here at home means more than awards abroad.
