The ‘Rockstar’ actor confessed that he has what he calls a “finsta”, a fake Instagram account that he uses to browse content and follow people he finds inspiring. In his typical witty way, the ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ actor said, “Not officially on Instagram. I do have a… what’s that word? It’s called a… Finsta. Finsta. Which is a fake Insta account.”He went on to explain the reason behind his hidden social media presence, “You know, because there are such amazing people in the world who do such amazing inspiration stuff. So I do want to follow them. But because I’m an actor, I didn’t want to officially be on Instagram. Then I have a responsibility to really show myself off to the world. And I feel that I already have a medium, which is ‘acting’ and ‘movies’ and that’s enough for me to show myself to the world. ”
