"Saying this for ONE LAST TIME to whoever it concerns ! Ive got nothing to do with fukra insaan or these meme pages. We shared nothing but friendship & even that no longer exists. I dont even follow any of these meme pages or have any knowledge of how this works. I always assumed them making this sort of stuff for views or Ive no idea if someone pays for this shit but if the blame comes on me with nasty comments on my character & family then hear it panda gang , I’M SELF MADE LOUD & PROUD," Jiya wrote.
"I’m because of ME and not because of anyone else. Way above these CHEAP STUNTS ! So stay in your lane & keep my mother’s & my name out of your filthy mouths," she added.
On the other hand, several users stated that the video is from Punjabi singer Karan Aujla's Gurugram concert.
