Actor Sonu Sood took to X (Twitter) to react to the shocking news of minor girls committing suicide in Ghaziabad. The actor tweeted, "Three young girls lost their lives in Ghaziabad today. 💔 Not to violence. Not to poverty. But to the unseen pressure of online gaming and digital addiction. I’ve raised my voice before, and I’ll say it again. Social media and online gaming must be restricted for children under 16, except for education (sic)."
He further wrote, "Childhood needs guidance, not algorithms. Care, not constant screens. This isn’t about blame. It’s about protection, before it’s too late. Let this not become another headline we forget. It’s time to act. (sic)." Check out his tweet below...
He also shared a video on Instagram about it and wrote, "Social media can wait. Childhood can’t (sic)." In the video, Sonu has said the same thing about how people should refrain from giving mobile phones to their kids. They should give phone to kids only for education, and not social media.
