interesting bits are when asked the following:
Saathiya on Star Plus is today a success story. How exactly did you get this role?Actually I had given an audition earlier for Palkon Ki Chao Mein, but things did not work out there. This is when I was prompted to give an audition for the same production house's new show for
Star Plus. I got a call for the tests and after all the tests I finally got selected. But I later got to hear that I was not the first choice to ply Gopi. The production house had in fact shot few episodes with three other girls, but finally it was me who lapped up the role (smiles).

How is your rapport with your co-actors?
I have an excellent rapport with everyone on the sets and I gel well with all of them and my best friend is Rupal Patel. Actually I always play pranks on all and sometimes Rucha gets irritated, but at the end of the day she gets fine. And I pull legs of Ahem also as he is like a complete Gopi Bahu off screen. Vishal is also a good friend of mine.
How was it to represent the one big star family at the Star Parivaar Awards?
I felt really great and also I got to compere a segment with Ayushman and I need to thank him because he handled it well (laughs). I won an award at the event and also performed an act with Ahem as well.
Wow Giaa being really really frank isn't she?
@Red Aham is Gopi Bahu in real life 🤣🤣
@Blue Gopi aka Giaa won an award at Star Parivaar Awards, which one do you think she took, best patni, best new entry or best bahu?
@Pink - Yeh we get to see the golden couple perform a dance, i hope it's not the advertising the event song we saw already, that would be a downer.
Assessing the interview, It seems she has worked extremely hard to be in the position she is now, not being first choice, shows that she is supposed to be on being cancelled and getting into character for SNS, and she is doing an excellent job, so believable when she is in the role.
Enjoy the article everybody, i hope you haven't already read it, as i have just come on India Forums just now today.
