Actor, host and comedian Balraj Syal finds the increasing use of filters hard to digest!! He feels that the use of filters while taking pictures has made it difficult for us to accept our weaknesses and flaws.

Says Balraj, “When you click a picture with your friends it is always with filters to look good. It’s no longer an extra thing to do on social media anymore. It’s like a process. You click a photo, you choose a filter, and then you post it. It has become a tradition. It has become a part of social media.”

Using filters once in a while is perfectly fine but overusing to make yourself look good is not right. You look good for your behaviour, work, and the people who know you for years, your fans, they’ll always like you the way you are. Therefore, I advise against overusing filters to the point where you lose self-confidence when you see yourself in the image without them,” adds Balraj.

So true!!
