Saath Nibhana Saathiya actor Giaa Manek says the upcoming daily soap, Tera Mera Saath Rahe, marries saas-bahu drama with comedy

A decade after playing the ideal daughter-in-law in Saath Nibhana Saathiya, Giaa Manek seems to have stepped into a similar role in Tera Mera Saath Rahe. While the actor claims that her new character shares no resemblance with Gopi bahu, one cannot ignore the similarities between the two daily soaps — be it the same cast or the same attires. “Even though I am reuniting with the actors of Saath Nibhana Saathiya for Tera Mera Saath Rahe and our characters appear to be similar, there is no semblance of commonality between the two shows. The characters are completely different,” assures Manek, who will share screen space with Rupal Patel and Mohammad Nazim again.
“There is a comic angle to this saas-bahu drama,” says the actor, adding that the first promo which parodied a scene from Saath Nibhana Saathiya showcases “our ability to laugh at ourselves”. “Tera Mera Saath Rahe will display subtle humour. It is like a Gujarati thali that has a little bit of everything in it. Ultimately, whether it will work or not depends on the audience.”
