The survey study was carried out among 120 respondents’ to generate primary data through semi structured questionnaire and analyzed with percentage, mean and standard deviation. Findings showed that social media possessed both tendencies of uniting and disrupting conventional family social relationship and interaction due to new adopted lifestyle of women on mobile phone internet communication with social media platforms of WhatsApp (x̅=4.66), Facebook (x̅=4.52), YouTube (x̅=4.13) and Twitter (x̅=4.08).
