Priyanka said, "There is a reason behind it. Before doing Udaariyaan, I was a very social person. When Udaariyaan started, I was continuously shooting and didn't get time to shoot. That became my lifestyle for two and a half years. Then I did Bigg Boss. After Bigg Boss when I returned home, I started having social anxiety."

I used to go for lunch, I used to go for dinners, I used to go for parties. I used to meet people, I used to meet friends. But after Bigg Boss, I started feeling weird seeing too much crowd."
