With his upcoming series Aarya about to release, Chandrachur Singh spoke about the good feedback he has been getting on social media, especially on Instagram. The actor said, “I think social media actually requires a lot of responsibility. What you post, how you connect, how you communicate, it all matters."

He added, "This is a different art form in itself and requires time and a lot of focus. My son needed me growing up so I was a lot more involved in that. It’s one of the reasons why I was away. I knew that if I wanted to do it, it had to be with full sincerity. So middle of all interviews, I am managing to just about post some stuff. Beyond that, have to figure out the ropes and I am sure with my son to help I will figure it out.”
