Shikhar Dhawan advised people to go for walks and meditate: "Though we make the most of technology in form of mobile phones, ipad, etc, it is very important to stay away from it for a while and engage in activities like meditation, going out for a walk, spending time with your pet, where there is no use of technology.

"We are addicted to technology and that's not good for mental health. Like how you take care of your physical health, mental health is equally important."
