Whatever you say, however you say it, yes sir, yes ma’am, I’ll do that,” adding that “Just because I’m like this, that I’m very easy-going, people think, ‘Yeah, we can treat her however we want,’ and that happened a lot initially when I was new in the industry.”

Jiya Shankar continued, “Deliberately saying anything, yelling in front of everyone on set, and I’m like, ‘What did I even do?’ It’s like there must be some reason, why are you yelling at me? You have come late to the sets. And chillam chilli chalu kar dena set pe, just because you want to show you’re someone important and you’re running the show. So, that has happened to me.”
