WHAT JIYA SHANKAR TWEETED?

The Bigg Boss OTT 2 star lashed out at netizens, who categorise actors as 'TV actors', mentioning that they work very hard for the sake of their shows. Taking a stand for TV actors, she said that they give their blood, sweat and heart to make a show successful.

"These "TV ACTORS" some people make it sound like it's an insult ! We're ACTORS. Period. We shall work in every single platform if gotten the opportunity and because we gotta pay our own bills doing what we LOVE to do ! These actors audition every single day for different shows, ads, web, prints, films and face rejections like its a part of the process. Wishing hoping praying "ONE DAY" I'll be on that silver screen/ I'll be the lead face of a TV show , I'll have my billboards all over the country. Laakho aate hai Mumbai hero/heroine banne , ROZ (sic)," she said.

"And talking about these "TV ACTORS" They work for more than 12hrs every single day !! Lead actors do not get days off ! When the show ends/ goes off air , these "TV actors" go back to square one ! "AUDITIONS" There are no shortcuts to success. RESPECT TO EVERY PROFESSION. Period. This msg is firstly in general for everyone who put actors in a category! And secondly as long as people in general who fight for their dreams to become/achieve something on their own will have immense respect in my heart. Be it Actors, Content creators or Youtubers. In the end all of us are hustlers. Actors become youtubers/influencers , youtubers become actors. Many youtubers have "also" become actors/ have tried acting. if given a chance why wouldn't/shouldn't they? (sic)," she added.
