Aly Goni off to Goa with Jasmin Bhasin for her birthday celebrations

Aly Goni with Jasmin Bhasin

On Saturday, Aly Goni whisked Jasmin Bhasin off to Goa to celebrate her birthday. She turns a year older on June 28. They will be joined by Goni's sister Ilham Tak and her family, besides a few close friends. The Bigg Boss 14 couple's favourite getaway is Goa.

The 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein' actor does think social media has given an actor a true identity and that there is a closer connection between fans and actors. "Earlier people used to know an actor by only their character names, but now because of social media people can get a closer look at actors. Nobody has so far asked me this question but I feel everyone would want to have someone known by the millions, so there is nothing wrong with that. But having said that I feel these criteria should be given the least preference because social media fan following doesn't guarantee that someone is a good actor," Aly said, when asked if social media following impacts the work offers an actor receives.

He is quick to add that creative people might scan the social media profile of an actor to gauge their standing and power in the market. But he doesn't believe actors are chosen for a project depending on their popularity on social media.

"I don't think so (they chose actors based on social media followers). I am sure they must be going through their profiles just to know how active an actor is on social media, and how much visibility their project can get because of them," he states.
