Did Giaa ever dream of playing Jeannie? No, not
even in her wildest dreams. The actress says, "When I was a child I watched the
American sitcom I Dream of Jeannie while I used to have milk. However I could
never have imagined that I would later get an offer to get to play the same
genie. So I jumped at the opportunity of playing the genie on this sweet
show."
Giaa is having great fun playing Jeannie on the
show as she feels that the character is quite like her. She explains, "Jeannie
is somebody who is very sweet, naughty and a complete brat. The only difference
between Giaa and Jeannie is that Giaa doesn't have the magical powers that
Jeannie possesses."
According to Giaa this show is a lovely escape
from the mundane realities of life. She points out, "We after all lead a very
hectic life full of strife and fights. After returning home from a hard day's
work you wish to watch a feel good escapist show."
Giaa says that she won't say no to any roles, even
that of a vamp provided the roles are interesting. She says, "I won't decline
any role. After all none of the roles is my real life character. It is an
actor's job to slip into various roles."
