Jiya Shankar recently made headlines after reports of her engagement to Abhishek Malhan went viral. While later both of them denied the rumours, Jiya remained in the limelight to rubbish the rumours. She shared a picture with a mystery guy kissing her. Now, as speculation and guessing games surround who the mystery person is, Jiya Shankar's team has issued an official statement requesting privacy and stated that Jiya does not want to be part of ‘publicity stunts or manufactured narratives'.

"Jiya Has Never Relied On Controversy For Momentum..."

"We as representatives of Jiya have always maintained a clear and consistent stance. She does not engage in publicity stunts or manufactured narratives. And this is something that she has addressed more than once, shutting down the rumors, and the trolls were our only intent, and not to spark unnecessary debates. A credible artist with a body of work that speaks for itself, Jiya has never relied on controversy for momentum. Her focus remains firmly on her craft, personal growth, and the life she has consciously chosen to build with integrity and independence. She is content, secure, and grateful for the love she receives, while choosing to share only what aligns with her values. We urge conversations to remain respectful, positive, and centred on meaningful work rather than speculation. Regards, Team Jiya Shankar," the statement read.
