The Love Aaj Kal actress was grilled at the international airport recently, the officials doubted her nationality.
We last saw her with Saif Ali Khan as the beautiful Punjabi girl Harleen Kaur in Love Aaj Kal. No one thought she was actually a Brazilian and that is what exactly happened recently even on the airport.
We bumped into Giselli on the final day of the Lakme Fashion Week and couldn't recognize her for she does look Indian!
Smiling at our opinion she nodded in affirmative and spoke to us in English with subtle Portuguese accent, "Yes everybody feels the same! I had gone back home to Brazil recently for a couple of weeks. My mother accompanied me back to India. The security people at the Mumbai airport were shocked as they went through my passport where it was mentioned that my nationality is Brazilian. They asked for my mother's passport too thinking may be I was half Indian or something. But nor my mum or dad have any Indian connection and that took them by surprise. They examined my passport closely and told me that I look Indian."
The actress adds, "I have no complains as it works in my favour. My mother has been here a couple of times, and she is not worried about me living here alone as I have been modelling since the age of 16. I am 22 now."
The actress will be soon seen in Shah Rukh's home production, Always Kabhi Kabhi.
Produced by Shah Rukh Khan, the film marks the directorial debut of actor-presenter, radio jockey and theatre artist, Roshan Abbas and stars debutantes Zoa Morani, Giselli Monteiro, Ali Fazal and Satyajeet Dubey in the lead roles.
