A new student in class is subject to some pranks by incumbent seniors. It's no different in our telly world too. New entrant Sriti Jha (aka Sunaina Kotak of Jiya Jale) fell victim to seasoned actor Mahesh Thakur's pranks. Mahesh plays her father in Jiya Jale. Sriti says, "I'm usually a very jovial person and one who seldom shows emotions. However, one particular day, Maheshji reduced me to tears. One day, I just happened to use his room and he got upset by this. He charged towards me and started screaming. Later, our director too joined him. It was too much to take and I broke down. Soon, they all burst into laughter." If this is the seasoned Mahesh's modus operendi of breaking ice with newcomers then he has succeeded.
