Giaa Manek stepped on to the small screen as Gopi Bahu and has since then been charming her way through her fans’ hearts. But according to the latest buzz, Giaa has been replaced from the show by Devoleena Bhattacharjee, of the Preeto fame.

We know it’s a sad news but not for long because Giaa would soon be seen on Colors’ dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa where she will once again entertain her fans by her dancing skills. There have been many speculations as to why such a sudden change happened overnight and Giaa’s professionalism has been questioned but rest assured the actor has cleared away all the doubts. 

In a recent interview she said, “I will always consider Saath Nibhana Saathiya and the character of Gopi Bahu as my claim to fame. Whatever I am today is because of this show, it’s been like a second family to me. But unfortunately my decision to sign Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa wasn’t taken very well by the channel.

Out of thirty days, twenty days were committed for Saath Nibhana Saathiya and I decided to give four out of rest of the ten days to JDJ but they didn’t agree. I think I have a democratic right to decide what is best for me and I expected them to support me in my growth. It feels sad to leave things on a sour note.”

About Jhalak and her participation, Giaa was quoted as saying that she’s looking forward to be a part of this show and dance has always been her passion.  She hopes her dance partner, Nishant, will be able to cope with her because she’s going to be working extra hard!   

Yay! We are more than happy to have a Giaa as a part of Jhalak Dikhhla Ja and welcome her to the Colors family with open arms! To catch your favorite celeb in action, tune into Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa starting from 16th June.
