#Mobileholics: TV stars and their phone addiction

Gone are the days when we used to write letters and make trunk calls. Today it’s all about messaging, whatsapping and engaging into social networking activities through our smart phones. And all of us are now addicted to our phones, making it almost like our ‘lifeline’. So, here’s Tellychakkar.com presenting you with the television stars and their takes on mobile addiction. Paridhi Sharma I use my phone mostly to pen down my thoughts and since I am very much into writing poems and all, I tend to jot down my ideas. Apart from that I obviously use my phone to click selfies. Hiten Tejwani With a gadget like phone in someone’s hand; I am pretty sure that it is difficult to refrain from checking what is going on around us. It’s not that I am very much addicted, but then again if someone texts me or some notification pops up I will definitely check that. And finally I end up checking my phone after every two minutes. Mahima Makwana For me phone means listening to music and without it I can hardly live my life. Being a music addict I always keep my phone near to me. Then again I keep on accessing social media through my phone as it is the best way to get connected with fans. And there are numerous occasions where I have bumped into someone while checking my phone and that has mostly turned out to be embarrassing (laughs). Kiku Sharda It is really funny that how these days we chat with our co-stars through Whatsapp even when they are sitting in the next vanity to us. And surprisingly when we meet on the sets I laugh about it how we should have been sitting together and chatting, but in reality that hardly happens. Barkha Bisht Sengupta I simply can’t survive without my phone. I perform every function from my phone, from bank work to playing games to chatting to talking to my daughter. And there are lots of incidents where I was so engrossed with my phone that I actually forgot that I have been called for the shot. Jay Soni Like everyone, even I am very much addicted with my phone and for me it works as a stressbuster. Without phone I feel like handicapped. Between my shots I keep on doing something or the other over phone and love to upload pictures through it. Aakansha Singh Well honestly speaking I am not much addicted to my phone but I definitely need it every time beside me as I keep on listening to songs. It is the easiest way to carry our music player these days. Rohit Khurana Though I don’t have any such funny memories relating to my phone, but I have often hid my co-actors’ phone just to keep them engaged with the shot. But personally speaking I am very much particular about my phone. Once I can’t find my phone, I get panicked. Even we are sure that while reading the article our readers are also busy checking their phone or may they are simply reading the article on their phones. (Wink Wink)
