Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday shared an 'Instagram vs reality' post on his Instagram that aptly describes the concept. He shows a contrast between the picture posted on Instagram and the stark contrast scenario of what goes into creating that photo.


Pichai shared two images of himself on Instagram that has been shot outdoors in which he is dressed in a blue shirt. The first image shows Pichai, smiling directly at the camera, while the second image shows him checking his phone surrounded by lights and cameras.


He writes in the caption, “IG vs. reality...comfy shoes + checking on @fcbarcelona scores between takes:)"
