The opportunity to be involved in My Boyfriend Jinny became a special moment for Ricis, considering this offer came a few years ago. At that time, the shooting process had to be postponed because she was pregnant with her first child.

"When I was offered, I was okay, but then I got pregnant. So the shooting was delayed because I was pregnant, and it finally materialized now," she said with a smile.

Even though it was postponed, Ricis feels comfortable working with the production team of her latest series. As a mother, she appreciates a work environment that supports the balance between work and personal life.

"I am very grateful to Allah for the ease in carrying out my daily journey without obstacles, and thank God the shooting hours are also very normal," she stated.

In fact, during the 45 days of shooting, Ricis was still able to carry out her routine as a mother, such as picking up her child from school. "Thank God during the shooting I could still pick up my child from school, still able to do this, still able to do that. So thank God, the work team is really comfortable for me as a mother," Ricis explained.

However, playing the character Krisi still presents its own challenges for Ricis. One of the biggest difficulties is the change in attitude from a quiet genie to a lively genie with specific choreography movements.

"So the difficulty in being Krisi is the choreography. From being quiet, the gestures had to be changed to include choreography. That's what is difficult," Ricis revealed.

3. Starry

My girlfriend Jinny tells the story of a beautiful genie named Jinny who is stranded on Earth after losing her way, with her magical bracelet attached to a human. This story presents a light conflict wrapped in humor and a love story.

This web series will air on WeTV and stars Caitlin Halderman, Rebecca Klopper, Anrez Adelio, and several other young stars. With a fresh and colorful story, My Girlfriend Jinny is expected to be an entertaining watch that also adds vibrancy to the Indonesian film scene.
