Jiya Shankar Gives a Befitting Reply To Troll For Taking a Dig At Her: 'It Is So Orthodox of You...'

Actress Jiya Shankar recently took to her X (formerly known as Twitter) handle to school a troll who attacked her for one of her old statements. In the old video, Jiya was heard saying she does not need anyone because she is an independent woman who earns and can handle her life on her own. However, the troll attacked Jiya for her statement and argued “This is the difference between girls and boys.”

Reacting to the troll, Jiya highlighted her journey and emphasized that success knows no gender boundaries. She further criticized the troll for perpetuating outdated stereotypes. “The girl after getting a job only dreamed of supporting her single mother so that one day she could buy a house for her mom and tell her not to work anymore and guess what – she did! This isn’t even about men/women and it’s so orthodox of you to do this comparison in this generation and century. May god make you capable enough to get a real job and support your family instead of doing this on X :)” she wrote.

In the wake of her response, Jiya received an outpouring of love and encouragement from her supporters, who lauded her for her strength and positivity. Many reacted to her reaction to express their admiration for Jiya’s resilience and to share their own stories of overcoming adversity.

Jiya Shankar started her journey in the showbiz world with the 2017 television show Meri Hanikarak Biwi. She later became a household name with Kaatelal & Sons and Pishachini. Jiya then made a significant breakthrough in the Marathi-language love drama titled Ved, where she shared the screen with Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza. However, it was her participation in the second season of Bigg Boss OTT that skyrocketed her popularity.
