Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has a valuable message for his young fans on social media. He wants the youngsters not to take social media seriously and instead do something real and meaningful in life.

Talking about the race to earn a high number of followers on social media, Pathan said it won't make one successful as there are people who buy followers too. 

Recently, the Mumbai Police took few celebrities in custody who had purchased followers on social media. Famous rapper Badshah had allegedly bought followers and also YouTube views for his video.
