Off the grid: Ayesha Omar announces two-week social media detox
In a surprising announcement, popular Pakistani actor Ayesha Omar announced her decision to disconnect from the digital world and embark on a two-week social media hiatus. The celebrity took to her social media accounts to inform her followers of her plan to detoxify in various aspects of her life, including technology, communication, and personal well-being.
Omar's message to her fans, which included both her ardent supporters and detractors, conveyed her intention to step away from the constant barrage of notifications and the pressures of maintaining an online presence. She stated that she would be disconnecting from her phone, internet, WhatsApp, social media platforms, and all forms of technology for the duration of her hiatus.
“Hello my dearest lovers and haters,” penned Omar. “Going off the grid for two weeks, starting tonight. No phone, no internet, no WhatsApp/social media, no technology and no contact.” She took the opportunity to inform her fans about how they could reach her for work-related queries during her absence. Moreover, she stated that personal emergencies should be directed to her mother, whose contact details were known to close friends and family.
Omar further added, “Digital, technological, social, mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, chemical, commercial, material, dietary, sensory, visual and verbal detox for the next 14 days with my favourite person – myself.”
Omar noted that she plans to undergo a detoxification process that would encompass her mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, chemical, commercial, material, dietary, sensory, visual, and verbal well-being. The celebrity expressed her anticipation of this period, highlighting that it would be a time of self-reflection and personal growth.
While the Bulbulay star’s decision may come as a surprise to her dedicated fan base, it is not uncommon for celebrities to take breaks from the public eye to prioritize their mental health and personal development. Detox periods such as these allow individuals to recharge, reconnect with themselves, and gain perspective away from the constant scrutiny and demands of fame.
