We asked Jiya Shankar if she had ever faced misbehavior or misconduct on setts. The actress said, “It has happened to me a lot of times. Because I’m a director’s actor. Aap jo bologe, jayesa bologe, yes sir, yes ma’am. I’ll do that. Mein apna zyada input dene ki kaushish nahi karti hu ki ye toh ayese hona chahiye… (Because I’m a director's actor. Whatever you say, however you say it, yes sir, yes ma’am, I’ll do that. I don’t try to give too much input myself, like, ‘This should be done this way...)”
She further continued, “Kabhi laga bohot zyada then I will. If there’s an improvisation I will, otherwise, mostly I go by the director’s point of view. But ayese bohot baar huya ki just because I’m like this, that I’m very easy going, logon ka lagta hain ki haan, isko toh kyase bhi treat kar sakte hain and that happened a lot initially jab mein nayi nayi thi industry mein. (If I really feel strongly about something, then I will. If there’s an improvisation, I’ll do it, otherwise, I mostly go by the director’s point of view. But it has happened many times that just because I’m like this—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.)”
