The young actress says her selection in the film had nothing to do with the fact that she comes from an influential background. <img alt="Jayati Modi" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/apr/Jayati.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 526px;" /> &quot;The fact that I am his niece held no influence on me being a part of the film,&quot; she told IANS. &quot;No one even knew of all this till the end of the shoot,&quot; she added. The actress said that she was always aware that such questions will be raised, but she believes it is unfair for people to assume these things. &quot;The whole thing behind doing this movie is that I have done it on my own. To think that this could have happened because I come from an influential family is unfair. But I guess opinions will be raised. But I know the effort I put in,&quot; she said. Jayati, a teenager, said she had to go through grilling auditions to bag the role. &quot;I auditioned for the role. I gave three rounds of auditions. I was nervous before giving it. It was a two to three week-long process,&quot; she said. In &quot;Gippi&quot;, releasing May 10, Jayati plays the lead character&#39;s arch rival. She loves her part. &quot;I think its great to play the role I am playing. I can relate to both Gippi&#39;s and my role But doing an innocent kid&#39;s role is simple. Here it was a challenge,&quot; she said. &quot;She is the queen bee of the school. She is a role model figure. She is amazing at sports, studies and good looking. But the character is fake and makes fun of people. She has a superiority complex. She has made a lot of enemies. She is Gippi&#39;s main arch enemy,&quot; said Jayati. Nevertheless, the actress fears being type cast as a child actor. &quot;I don&#39;t want to be branded as a child actor. I would like to do mainstream films,&quot; she said, adding that she doesn&#39;t have any more offers as of now.
