Famously known as Gopi from the show Saath Nibhana Saathiya, Jia Manek is a "complete monster and short tempered girl in real life." Being in a daily soap, we are sure Jia gets no time for herself, but this petite girl insists that she takes out time for herself and tries to spend maximum time pampering herself once she gets free. "Once I leave from the sets I love to sleep and pamper myself.
Spa, massage, shopping and eating are always on my mind when I have leisure time I think about food 24 hours. I don't like to visit saloon or spa parlours, I rather call people home for all the services. Doing Skating, horse riding, reading and applying Mehndi is something I enjoy the most. I haven't taken any classes for learning to apply mehendi I have learnt it on my own by applying on my hand several times and by looking in books. Practice makes a man perfect and that is how I got a hold on the cone. For reading, I don't like to read Harry Potter, I rather prefer Sidney Sheldon books," she says.
