I would love to follow in the footsteps of Priyanka Chopra and Deepika

Jiya Shankar of &TV show, Meri
Hanikarak Biwi, is very happy with her
character and the overall narrative. "I am
enjoying every day of the shoot. I think
this is best phase of my career so far.
What works is the right balance of masala
entertainment that TV needs, and a
healthy dose of realism.
"Irawati, who always stands up for her
husband and family, is just like me. I too
stand for my loved ones. Coming to the
current track, she says,"Karan has created
lots of misunderstandings.
Social media addict Jiya is happy to read
on Twitter that her fans are liking her
performance."The character is perfect; I
don't need to add anything.
This is Jiya's second show; prior to this,
she had done Queens,again on &TV. It did
not appear that Jiya was very happy with
the way that show eventually went."The
best thing I took home from it was my
two best friends; we are still together. The
show suffered from a lot of creative and
other issues.
Jiya represents a growing number of TV
actors who began their acting journey
down South."There comes a point when
you want to grow, and also understand
what you are saying on screen. Many
South flicks have heroines who don't
understand a word of their language, and
yet are signed on, just for their good looks
(our words).
Looking ahead, Jiya is game for doing
web series'. "It is quite high on my bucket
list. She has no qualms about showing
skin, having already done that, south of
the Vindhyas.
"But yes,there has to be some justification
for whatever is seen; it can't be added just
for titillation.
Like everybody else, Jiya too has
Bollywood dreams."I would love to follow
in the footsteps of Priyanka Chopra and
Deepika Padukone.

So true. Also, the effortless humour. 😆
