We take for granted those nakhra-jhatka-matkas which we’ve seen our sisters perform at weddings. Indian girls have those adaas without being trained. But for a foreigner it is tough. Giselle could’ve done with a bit more training. Giselle who is a big fan of the soap opera says the cultures, the traditions and the colors of India have had a huge impact on her. Well, it seems that the role of Harleen was acted by none other than Giselle Monteiro, a 19-year-old Brazilian model who had initially approached Ali to audition for the role of Jo, Saif’s Swiss girlfriend in the film.
Giselle’s favourite actress is her first co-star Saif Ali Khan’s mother Sharmila Tagore. “Imtiaz showed me her films. Because she had the kind of personality Imtiaz wanted me to project. Indian girls have that in their blood and they don’t need training on that. But for a foreigner Giselle Monteiro, it was very tough.
