In a discussion with ANI, Dutta emphasized the importance of finding balance amid the prevalence of mobile phones, AI, and social media. She stated, 'In a tech-savvy world where mobiles and AI tools like ChatGPT are widespread, it's crucial to use these innovations wisely and maintain personal equanimity.'

Dutta urged a return to basic values, highlighting the significance of personal happiness and health without digital crutches. 'The COVID-19 pandemic taught us to reconnect with ourselves and others. Prioritizing mental and physical health is vital,' she added.
