Post her exit from Kahaani the actor has already been signed for Aroona Irani's rechristened show Dolee Saja Ke for Sahara One. Here she plays Anuj Saxena's second wife and has a negative character to portray.

"After a long time I'm essaying a negative character called Maya and am very excited about it. And it's a good production house and a fabulous role so I couldn't say no to the role," points out Jayaa who starts shooting soon for the show.

So we ask the actor what made her say no to Kahaani... after being a part of the show for one and a half years. " I don't see myself playing a grandmother in the show so I nicely bid adieu. Now in my free time I hitthe gym, "states Jayaa.

And the logic behind her name change? "I read a book on numerology and decided to change my name accordingly. I have also taken a second opinion from Sunita Menon. And needless to say it helped and has got me positive response. " smiles the actor who is yet to find her prince charming.
