After getting evicted, Bollywood Bubble got in touch with her where she expressed her feelings towards him and it’s really heartwarming.

Jiya Shankar on her equation with Abhishek Malhan

During an exclusive interview with us, she spoke about her equation saying, “The equation is as it is as it was inside the house. I have that soft corner for him it will always be there. No matter what I have seen now. Agar mere peit piche batein bhi ki gayi hai toh okay thik hai. I give you the benefit of the doubt ki logo ne bohot kaan bhare toh kar li. Kabhi ek point aise aya hoga ki shayad log sahi keh rahe hai ki Jiya galat hai. Thik hai main usse woh benefit of doubt deti hu ki woh soch sakta hai mere bare mai yeh. Jab bahar aaye toh shayad usse pata chale ki Jiya ne kya kiya hai kya nahi kiya.“

(If people have also talked about me behind my back, then okay, that’s fine. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that if people have talked so much, maybe he did it. There might have been a point where it seemed like people are right, and I’m wrong. Okay, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he could think this way about me. When he comes out, he might find out whether what I did right or wrong)

Jiya Shankar on Mom’s comment

When Abhishek Malhan’s mom told him that Jiya Shankar is the kind of girl who makes a bond with every guy in the house. The Ved actor said, “I did notice a change in his behaviour. But then I asked him if mom said something that he was reacting to like this. But gradually, he also returned to normal with me. I also returned to normal. But I never thought that his mother might have said something like that to him.”

“I don’t hold it against her as well. Okay, it’s her perspective, she thought she should say it. Many people got hurt by this, not just me. My mother was hurt the most. Apart from her, there are a lot of people who stood up for me. There are many people who are their fans, not mine. Female fans of his, fans of the Malhan family. I’ve read their messages saying, “We are fans, but we felt it was wrong, this shouldn’t have happened, we are sorry.” They have come and apologized to me.“

“This accusation about my character, on what basis has it been said? Was I flirting with every person there like Manisha? Abhishek calls Manisha his little sister. But their proximity wasn’t highlighted for anyone to see. I think there are many things people should consider,” Jiya said.
