She wrote, "Saying this for one last time to whoever it concerns! I’ve got nothing to do with Fukra Insaan or these meme pages. We shared nothing but friendship, & even that no longer exists. I don’t even follow any of these meme pages or have any knowledge of how this works (sic)."With her latest post, Jiya Shankar seems determined to close the chapter on speculation linking her to Abhishek Malhan. While the identity of the mystery man remains unknown, the actor’s message is unmistakable, false rumours are firmly being left behind in the new year!
