MUMBAI: Jiya Shankar is an integral part of Sab TV’s Kaatelal & Sons.
Playing the character of Susheela in the show, Tellychakkar.com got chatty with Jiya to know her experience shooting for the show.
Jiya shared, “My character and the topic that the show is on are the two reasons I signed the show. It matters a lot in the society at the moment for people to talk about feminism, women’s rights and it is a good subject which I am really enjoying. There are very few shows these days on Indian television which you will get to see these days which show women empowerment. It is something based on our day to day lives.
Even though I live in Mumbai, I have personally encountered many such instances where my blood boils on people being sexist and somewhere, it comes out through this show through the dialogues.”
Speaking about her bond with her co-actors, Jiya said, “I love shooting with Paras Arora and I are like pods in a pea! We bond very well and he is someone I talk to the most. We make a lot of Instagram reels on the sets with everyone but Paras and I get along very well! On set one can call Paras my best friend as we talk about everything. Whenever something is bothering me, he is the first person I call. He is my go-to friend.
As for Megha Chakraborty, it is more about having fun loving conversations and indulging in fun things together like making reels among other things.”
Well said Jiya! (Also Read: Prince Narula And Karan Kundra turn gym buddies as they sweat it out together like a PRO, READ)
