Her father and mother lost everything in the terrible earthquake that destroyed Mexico City, in 1985. Giselle lied to her family to pursue her artistic career: telling her father that she needed money to pay for a gym membership, she instead spent the money on a theater course at Televisa, the leading television station in Mexico. For eight months the actress stayed at the home of relatives in Mexico, convinced that she wanted to continue pursuing an acting career.
