'I’ve no filter, but…': Anurag Kashyap on importance of 'saying less' on social media

Critically acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is someone who doesn’t mince his words. He is lauded for making realistic cinema. But he is equally famous for speaking his mind on Twitter. He often paid the price for his honest opinion on things that affected him.

Now, the DevD director has realised that there is no point in trying to have conversations on social media platforms.

“It took me a year-and-a-half of sickness to realise a lot of things. I used to be very reactive earlier. I would just say things out of anger or as a reaction to something I felt perturbed with. It took me some time to realise that I’m shouting in a room full of people where everyone is also shouting and nobody is listening to me or each other for that matter. That’s what social media has become today,” he told News18 in an exclusive interview.
