Shriya Pilgaonkar, who has gained huge popularity for her performance in 'Mirzapur', is currently the victim of fake news. There are several rumours that the actress is the adopted child of Sachin Pilgaonkar and Supriya Pilgaonkar. While promoting her next web show 'The Broken News 2', the actress clarified the rumours and called them untrue.

Shriya in an interview with India Today stated, “There was a random article that said I was adopted. No, I’m not adopted. There was news going around out of nowhere that my parents had adopted me and that’s absolutely untrue.”

The actress further said that she does not need to justify anything to prove her identity as her parents’ daughter. "This is not even something that I need to justify because I’m not going to flash my birth certificate on Instagram to prove my point. But yes, this was absolutely amusing as it’s not true, but other than that, no other scandals have been reported about me,” she added. 

Shriya also shared that she does not chase headlines or try to have PR activities. She said, “Honestly, for me, I think of not being relevant in the moment but for years to come. Hence, I don’t look at it from a short-term view of a PR activity here and there. For me, being relevant is also about how much you’re learning and evolving as an actor.”

 
On the work front, Shriya Pilgaonkar has given powerful performances in several shows and films including 'Jai Mata Di Film', 'Aranya', 'Beecham House', 'The Gone Game', 'Crackdown', 'Kaadan', 'Guilty Minds', and others. As per reports, the actress will be next seen in Nikhil Advani's untitled project which also stars Jitendra Kumar in the lead. In 'The Broken News 2', she will be seen alongside Sonali Bendre and Jaideep Ahlawat. The show has a star cast of actors including Indraneil Sengupta, Akshay Oberoi, Taaruk Raina, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Geetika Vidya Ohlyan, Suchitra Pillai and Faisal Rashid. The show will be released on 3rd May on Zee5.
