Riteish Deshmukh's directorial debut, Ved, also marks the debut of actress Jiya Shankar in Marathi cinema. The film has emerged as a super hit at the box office and will continue its roaring business for some time more. We got in touch with Jiya Shankar, and she seemed immensely delighted about the success.JiyaShankar exclusively told us, "I'm overwhelmed with the kind of response it has received. I never expected that my debut would be well received, and HOW! I just want to say one thing: thank you for accepting me the way you guys have. Today I feel that all the persistence and determination has finally paid off. Truly, the word grateful won't suffice."JiyaShankar plays the role of Nisha, Satya's (Riteish Deshmukh) lover, in the first half. Ved has earned more than 23 crore at the box office in 8 days and will end up as the highest grossing Marathi movie of the year by the weekend.
