Incredibly talented and strikingly beautiful, Gia Manek is a television actress with a difference.

We say that she is a perfect blend of beauty and brains. Talk to her and you will realize that she definitely has an intelligent head over her shoulders.

She redefined the image of a quintessential TV bahu playing Gopi in Saath Nibhana Saathiya. Later she went on to reinvent herself as a dancing diva in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Her legions of fans fell in love with her all over again when she enacted the cute and cuddly Jeannie in Jeannie Aur Juju.

Yes she is intelligent, but also has a heart which bubbles with emotions. In a candid chat with Tellychakkar.com, she shared her warm, cordial and nurturing relationship with mom dear, Reena Manek.

And Cello’s new poignant ad campaign (check the video below) triggered a stream of nostalgia in the actress:

“I loved the video. It’s so touching. Memories flowed in front of my eyes. I feel really blessed to have my mom in my life, especially the unconditional love that she has showered on me is beyond expressing.”

She continued with a lump in her voice: “Mother-daughter relation is such that it touches everyone’s heart. I related to the college sequence from the video. When I was in the final year of my college, she used to wait for me at the station so that when my classes end, we can quickly rush for auditions. We used to go to shopping malls to change my attire and then move on to venues of auditions. Then after getting back at home, she used to do all the household chores, while I used to take rest. I believe every single day of that phase is a special moment for me.”

Giaa, a mother-daughter relationship is always a special one, we agree!!!
