<ul><li>Excessive use of smartphones has impacted human relationships. </li><li>In third edition of the #SwitchOff campaign, <keyword id="2829414" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vivo-india" source="Orion">vivo India</keyword> showcases how parents are missing out on being fully present in their children’s lives.</li></ul>Smartphones have become an integral part of our day-to-day lives, be it business, communication, information, or entertainment. However, with this increasing significance, especially post pandemic, excessive use of smartphones have also impacted human relationships. We might not be fully aware, but smartphones have jeopardized the quality of our relationships with everyone around us and is now adversely impacting the parent-child relationship, too. In line with this thought, vivo, the innovative global smartphone brand, today launched the third edition of the #SwitchOff campaign with a thought-provoking film that showcases how parents are missing out on being fully present in their children’s lives. The campaign is founded on the observation from vivo-CyberMedia Research (CMR) study ‘Impact of Smartphones on Human Relationships 2021’ that underlines 74% of parents confessing that their excessive usage of smartphones has hurt their relationship with their children. The study focuses on the relationship dynamics of parents and children with respect to the omnipresence of smartphones in families. <div type="Youtube" id="9SPo8wmGiBg" title="#SwitchOff for your loved ones | #HappyNewYear" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9SPo8wmGiBg/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Conceptualized by Lowe Lintas, the film has an emotionally captivating storyline that shows how a good father-son relationship was of ‘best friends’ before the smartphone became indispensable. The character of the father in the end realizes the need to disconnect and recapture the relationship he shared with his son. Speaking about the film, Yogendra Sriramula, Director, Brand Strategy, vivo India, said, “The pandemic has made digital technology and smartphone devices an indispensable need for all of us. What we don’t often realize is that how excessive usage of these devices is impacting the young and naïve minds around us. We might be around our children, but the quality of the time spent with them is something that we don’t pay much attention to. Hence, this year, we thought of focusing on driving awareness and realization of excessive smartphone usage by adults that is impacting their relationship with their kids. And, that is what vivo’s SwitchOff film depicts.” “vivo’s purpose to spread the joy of connections via this film is hinged on sensitizing the users especially the parents, to choose healthy habits for shaping the minds of our future generation. We believe the film delivers an eye-opening and thought-provoking message to all of us.” Speaking about the film, Amar Singh, Regional Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas, said, “Children are very quick to pick up on the signals we send out. And a child’s mind is a very fertile place. This film conceptualized by Rajat, Vishal, Stuti and Kushal, explores what may be going through a child’s mind as he sees his parents obsessing with their phone. What inferences his little mind might draw. And how it’s imperative for adults to find it within themselves, to stop.” vivo recently announced the findings of the third edition of the study titled ‘Impact of Smartphones on Human Relationships 2021’, that showcases the impact of smartphones on users and its effect on relationships. The study highlights that while the time that is spent with kids and family, in general, has gone up, the quality of time spent has deteriorated.

Vivo India's new ad featuring Jimmy Sheirgill urges parents to #SwitchOff and spend more quality time with their kids

Certain roles are meant to be played by certain stars. But that’s not how every <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> story begins. Many a times, roles are written for someone else and are enacted by other actors and actresses. With Rock On 2 finally landing in Shraddha Kapoor’s kitty after originally being offered to <keyword id="6354526" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Alia-Bhatt">Alia Bhatt</keyword>, here are a few characters which were written keeping a particular actor in mind but went to someone else. 
 
Can you imagine Karan Arjun without <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>? Well, the role was originally written with <keyword id="6354714" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ajay-Devgn">Ajay Devgn</keyword> in mind. It was when Ajay refused to play the part that it went to Salman. Later, the movie directed by <keyword id="1989" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rakesh-Roshan">Rakesh Roshan</keyword> became an epic. 
 
Is Salman Khan a star by fluke? It wasn’t just Karan Arjun that landed with him by chance but also his launch pad, Maine Pyar Kiya. Yes, the blockbuster wasn’t originally written for him but for Vikas Bhalla. Imagine the disaster that was averted! 
 
In yet another tale, Munna Bhai MBBS wasn’t meant for Sanju Baba but for <keyword id="1671" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword>. And we thank the makers for that. Jadu Ki Jhappi and the whole tapori act would have lost its charm if SRK had played the role. Whether you believe it or not, <keyword id="7645" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sanjay-Dutt">Sanjay Dutt</keyword> was supposed to play the character of cancer patient, which was later enacted by <keyword id="18965" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jimmy-Sheirgill">Jimmy Sheirgill</keyword> in the movie. 
 Shah Rukh Khan has all the reasons to thank <keyword id="2823" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Akshay-Kumar">Akshay Kumar</keyword>, Arbaaz Khan, Salman Khan and even <keyword id="6354700" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anil-Kapoor">Anil Kapoor</keyword>. Wondering why? Well, Baazigar, the film that established him as a star was first offered to all of them. When no one agreed to play the negative character, the role went to King Khan. 
 
Talking about Shah Rukh Khan, even Chak De! came to him when Salman Khan said no to it.Knowing this, we wonder how Salman would have delivered the famous “sattar minute” speech? 
 <keyword id="11193" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Karisma-Kapoor">Karisma Kapoor</keyword> wasn’t the original choice for Raja Hindustani. The film, which catapulted Karisma’s career was actually supposed to be <keyword id="6366471" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aishwarya-Rai">Aishwarya Rai</keyword> Bachchan’s debut vehicle. Thanks to Aishwarya’s <keyword id="145" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Miss-World">Miss World</keyword> commitments, the film went to Karisma. 
 ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ was first offered to Karisma Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna and Raveena Tandon. It was when they rejected; the role went to <keyword id="587883" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rani-Mukerjee">Rani Mukerjee</keyword>. 
 
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wasn’t the original choice for playing Nandini in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. It would be hard for you to believe, but it was <keyword id="2165" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kareena-Kapoor">Kareena Kapoor</keyword> who was initially considered to play Nandini.
