On August 22, Kapuso actresses Nadine Samonte and Yasmien Kurdi reacted to the competition they had when she was younger.
At the media conference of ‘The Missing Husband,’ which LionhearTV covered, Samonte explained that the people around her and Kurdi were instigating a rivalry between them when they started in showbiz.
“Wala sa amin eh, it’s just ‘yung mga tao sa paligid namin, sila ‘yung kung ano-ano ‘yung mga sinasabi nila, na parang kaming dalawa, ‘Huh? Wala namang sinasabi si Yas na ganyan, at wala naman akong sinasabi na ganon.'”
Kurdi added details about their ‘rivalry,’ citing how challenging it was for them as young stars to ascertain the truth from gossip.
“Naalala ko na sila Rommel Gacho at sila Nanay Lolit Solis, sila talaga, sila yung gagawa-gawa ng issue sa aming dalawa para pag talo-talo kaming lahat.
“Siyempre mga bagets kami noon, so nag-away-away kami noon. Ganon ang nangyari.
“Tsaka ‘yun pala ‘yung isa sa mga challenges namin. Kung agad agad ka bang maniniwala sa tsismis na sinabi sayo na, ‘Uy alam mo ba sabi ni ganito, ganyan.’ Di ba ‘yung showbiz talaga ganon, minsan may balita ka talagang malalaman. So wag kaagad maniniwala, kailangan malaman mo agad from that person, kung narinig mo talaga kasi ang daming tsismis.”
Samonte and Kurdi started their Kapuso careers when they joined Starstruck Season 1 in 2003.
Kurdi also hoped that all the Starstruck Season 1 stars would have a reunion project together.
“Malay mo someday, magkaroon kami ng show together, at kasama pa sila Jennylyn, si Katrina, Christine Reyes, at everyone, at magkaroon kami ng isang show na all-together ang Starstruck para sa isang reunion. Hello GMA, malay mo di ba? Masaya ‘yun di ba?”
As for their series, ‘The Missing Husband’ stars Rocco Nacino, Kurdi, Joross Gamboa, Sophie Albert, and Jak Roberto.
The cast also features Max Eigenmann, Michael Flores, Bryce Eusebio, Cai Cortez, Mark Herras, Samonte, and Patricia Coma.
Under the direction of Mark Reyes, ‘The Missing Husband,’ airs on August 28 on GMA Afternoon Prime.
