Obsessed with this Jiya Shankar look

Actress Jiya Shankar is once again getting attention on social media, and this time it is because of her latest Instagram post and her honest interview about a missed opportunity.

Recently, Jiya Shankar shared a beautiful picture on her Instagram profile. In the photo, she is seen wearing a bright blue dress with a stylish design. The dress has a modern look, and Jiya carries it with confidence. Along with the photo, Jiya wrote a simple and fun caption. She said, “Alright yeah I’m obsessed with this song !”

While her Instagram post created buzz, Jiya also made headlines for her recent interview. During a conversation recently, she spoke openly about auditioning for a major role in the web series Heeramandi. The show, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was released in 2024 and received a lot of attention from audiences. It featured many well-known actors and told the story of courtesans living in Lahore during the time of India’s independence movement.

Jiya revealed that she had auditioned for the role of Alamzeb, which was eventually played by Sharmin Segal. Speaking honestly, Jiya said that she felt the role was perfect for her. She mentioned that if she had been selected, she would have done a great job. She explained that emotional and romantic roles come naturally to her, and she feels very comfortable performing such characters.

After Heeramandi was released, Sharmin Segal faced a lot of criticism online. Many people commented negatively on her performance and even spoke about her behavior during promotions. Later, Sharmin responded by saying that she accepts criticism about her work but does not like people judging her personality. She also shared that her co-stars supported her during that time, which meant a lot to her.
