The Story in Brief
Actor Shakeela has undergone neck surgery costing Rs 3 lakh, which she attributes to spending long hours on her phone. In a video after returning home, she was seen wearing a neck collar and said she would lie on her side for up to four hours continuously playing games and watching reels on YouTube and Instagram, taking breaks only for tea or coffee.
The prolonged use and improper posture affected the veins in her neck, requiring major surgery. She currently needs help with basic activities during recovery. Shakeela warned fans to use phones only for essential things and advised parents against giving gadgets to children for long periods.

Shakeela's surgery is a stark reminder that our phones can physically harm us, yet the typical narrative blames only the user's 'addiction'. The real issue is how apps are designed to hook us for hours. A more useful test: will phone makers and app developers now add stronger posture alerts or screen-time limits? Or will the burden stay entirely on the individual?
