She pointed to the growing influence of social media, artificial intelligence and peer groups, saying these factors often have a greater impact on an individual's mindset and decisions than family upbringing. Sharing a post carrying Siya Goyal's father's statement, Kangana wrote, “These days just looking at the families, homes or parents you can never be sure about sanskars of the children, what is more important is that who is programming them? Who they spend time with, what are their influences on SM/AI or real life. Parents can not be blamed because people are living so many parallel lives, people carefully build desirable perception of themselves because it is all about how they are seen not how they feel or who they really are, so families can not be judged for children actions."Meanwhile on work front, Kangana was recently seen in 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata' for which she has been getting a lot of love.
