Jiyaa Shankar wears mom's jewellery on screen (TV Snippets)

TV actress Jiyaa Shankar, who essays Ira in "Meri Hanikarak Biwi", will be seen wearing her mothers jewellery for her on-screen wedding in the show.

"I was really excited and got on board for the preparations of the wedding sequence. I wanted to look like a real bride and wanted to give the entire sequence a personal touch. When the creative team showed me the lehenga, I immediately recollected my mother's jewellery and it was a perfect match," Jiyaa said in a statement.

The actress says initially her mother was not sure about lending her jewellery for the sequence.

"She changed her mind when she saw me dressed as a bride. There is something about weddings, and it is every mother's dream to see her daughter adorn what belongs to her. This makes this sequence a lot more special to me. I am sure the look will justify to the viewers and my mother will love to see me wearing her jewellery for my reel life wedding," added the &TV actress.

 

According to sources, the makers are shooting for a grand wedding sequence and have designed a special lehenga for the character Ira.

I'm all for freedom of speech: RJ Mallishka

Radio jockey and actress Mallishka, who will be seen in the next episode of reality show "MTV Troll Police", says she is all for freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean a person can mock and pull someone down.

Mallishka had earlier made a parody on potholes in Mumbai and faced a backlash for the same. Of those who trolled her, a renowned fitness influencer and gym trainer made personal jibes and body-shamed Mallishka.

Commenting on the issue of trolling, Mallishka said: "I'm all for freedom of speech but that doesn't mean you mock and pull someone down. We need to understand that constantly sharing negative comments can impact someone mentally and it could result in losing their confidence."

She said there's a difference between trolling and constructive criticism.

"Some people have mixed the meaning on purpose and some people are plain unaware that spreading negativity is unhealthy for both -- the trolled and the troll. We need to realize where the lines blur between expressing one's view and being derogatory, calling people names and body shaming."
