MUMBAI: Saath Nibhaana Saathiya is an Indian television drama that premiered on 3 May 2010 on Star Plus and gained massive popularity for its various plotline antics. The show's viewers had been hooked to it since the first day of its airing to last, credits being given to the outstanding on-screen performances that were delivered by telly actresses like Rupal Patel, Giaa Manek, Ruchaa Hasabnis, Mohammad Nazim and Devoleena Bhattacharjee (who later replaced Giaa) as the show's pivotal leads for playing the roles of Kokila Modi, Gopi Modi, Rashi Modi and Ahem Modi, respectively.
Despite its huge cast line, viewers were seen staying hooked onto and rooting for two on-screen duos from the show - the saas-bahu duo of Kokila Modi and her Gopi Bahu and the on-screen husband-wife duo of Ahem and Gopi.
The show garnered immense popularity almost a decade ago and later in the present day, referral clips from the show starring Gopi Bahu, Rashi and Kokila Modi were drawn out of it for creating hilarious memes, which went viral virtually in no time.
Talking about Giaa Manek's character 'Gopi Bahu', the storyline portrayed her as completely illiterate and who had no knowledge of handling technical gadgets, sophisticated socialisation or table manners. However, with the help of her on-screen mother-in-law Kokila Modi (played by Rupal Patel), Gopi finally became self-dependent, educated and empowered.
Giaa Manek's character Gopi's on-screen tenure was quite brief since later, Devoleena Bhattacharjee replaced her for the same role post-former's exit from the show.
About Giaa's personal front, she's moderately active on social media and keeps her fans stunned by posting mesmerising pictures of her in different styles of outfits, though mostly in ethnic formats and looks immensely pretty.
