“Create Your Own Magic”: Dhruvee Haldankar Speaks On Social Media Pressure & the Validation Trap

“Create Your Own Magic”: Dhruvee Haldankar Speaks on Social Media Pressure & the Validation Trap

Dhruvee Haldankar Urges Young Creators to Believe in Their Talent Amid Social Media Pressure

In an age where content creation has become one of India’s fastest-growing aspirations, actress Dhruvee Haldankar is choosing a different path — one rooted in self-belief rather than social media validation.

From aspiring doctors and engineers to becoming influencers and reel-makers, the dream has evolved. With crores of content creators producing millions of reels daily, the digital world looks glamorous. But behind the filters and trending audios lies a growing mental health crisis driven by views, likes, and algorithms.

And Dhruvee Haldankar isn’t afraid to call it out.

“I Want My Audience to Know Me for My Acting”

Known for her performances in popular shows like Trideviyaan, C.I.D., and Dharam Patni, Dhruvee Haldankar says she has never felt the need to overshare her life for engagement.

“I want my audience to know me for my acting,” she shares candidly. “It’s difficult for me if everyone is to be a spectator. If you put cameras in my house, you’ll see me sitting in a corner meditating most of the time. I don’t know how interesting that would be to people.”

For her, social media is not a stage for constant performance — it’s simply an extension of her craft.

“If I post anything, it’s about my creative work. That’s how people know me.”

The Dark Side of Viral Culture

While content creation has empowered many, it has also created a culture of constant comparison. A dip in views or followers can deeply impact self-worth — something Dhruvee Haldankar believes stems from misplaced validation.

“People put in immense effort and naturally expect appreciation in return. When the content doesn’t perform, they feel like they’ve failed. For many, validation from thousands of strangers becomes everything.”

She pauses, then adds pointedly, “Anything for a reel, isn’t it?”

Her words reflect a growing concern — that numbers are slowly replacing meaning.

When Numbers Define Self-Worth

From boosting posts to chasing trends, today’s digital ecosystem thrives on metrics. But Dhruvee Haldankar believes this race can be dangerous if not handled with awareness.

“Social media is a space where constant comparison happens. Numbers, views, trending — these words have become powerful. But one should not fall for this culture.”

Instead, she offers a simple yet powerful mantra:

“Create your own magic.”

Choosing Craft Over Clout

In an industry where actors are often under pressure to remain constantly visible online, Dhruvee Haldankar’s approach feels refreshing. She isn’t dismissing social media — she’s redefining how to use it.

For her, the focus remains on growth, skill, and meaningful work — not algorithms.

And perhaps that’s the real takeaway: In a world obsessed with going viral, staying authentic might just be the boldest move of all.
