    Kalki, who has over 700,000 followers on Twitter, says that for her, social media is a great way for interacting with her well-wishers.
     
    "For me it is a great way of interacting with fans and keeping in touch with the work which I do... which is not just my film work but also theatre and writing. So I enjoy social media for that," Kalki said.
     
    But the actress stressed that she knows "that not everything that comes out of social media is useful, helpful or constructive".
