“The younger ones are missing out in a lot of ways. The younger generation is getting carried away with technology, the same technology that is fixing things and making life easier for you. However, I believe it can also be destructive if one is not careful,” she said.

Although she admitted that growing up in the modern world is far more challenging than it was in her own, she conceded that despite having some insight, she may not be completely aware of the difficulties experienced by young people today.

“It is much more difficult to be alive now than it was when we were growing up, it was harder for us then. I had my daughter at 26,” the versatile actress said.
