Speaking about the same, Jiya said, "I am a bit worried about 'Weekend Ka Vaar' but no matter what comes out of him eventually is from Salman sir, so I will only take it positively. Yes, it's the second time that I am part of something that Salman sir is doing."

Moving on to her favourite contestants from previous seasons of the show, Jiya admits, "I've never followed the show from start to end so I don't really know what goes around, I've only seen bits and clips. Through all the bits and clips I have watched, Shiv was really good. He was very real and I like the way he portrayed himself in front of people. He was very calm but he also gave it back to people when it was needed. He did not create unnecessary drama for the cameras, which I really hate."
Jiya added that she wasn't worried about her co-contestants on the show. "Whoever I meet will either bring out the best or worst in me," she says with a laugh, adding that she is well prepared for that. Speaking about how she would react to unhygienic contestants on the show she said, "Apna gandh khud saaf karo (clean up your own mess.)"
When quizzed about whether she is prepared for kitchen duty she quipped, "I can cook but if you don't like it, you can cook for yourself."
