While most people from his generation engages with people through social media, the young star kid has so far refrained from using the platform. In a recent interview with NDTV, Agastya revealed why he has decided to stay away from social media. "I did have a social media account and I used to get really stressed, what should I post, what filter, what angle, jawline. I used to do all this and then I was like scrap it. I am going to do some cool artsy thing…and I am not artsy. I did some cool collage and posted it. I thought this is my big reveal, I have arrived. I am going to make a public account, people are going to follow me. But people started unfollowing me."

He shared that he had 800 followers when his account was private and it shot up to 20000 when he made it public. However, when he posted a carefully thought our collage his followers came down to 500.

Agastya, however, is up to date with what's happening on social media as he has a fake account through which he watches reels on Instagram.
