Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza shared her experiences dealing with overwhelming fame and the intrusion into her personal life as her popularity soared due to the success of the primetime series ‘Maria Clara at Ibarra.’
Forteza, who forms a beloved love team with David Licauco, known as BarDa, acknowledged the positive attention and recognition she receives but revealed the challenges that come with constant scrutiny.
“’Yung personal mong buhay parang tinuturuan ka nila kung paano ka mabuhay.”
The actress admitted feeling drowned by the attention, prompting her to take a therapeutic vacation to visit her sibling in Chicago. Reflecting on the experience, she expressed how the highs and lows of her 15-year career had never subjected her to such intense scrutiny.
“Ibang level na kasi ngayon, e. Lalo na with social media ‘di ba parang lahat they all have the power to say what they want,” Barbie stated during the recent interview on Luis Manzano’s ‘Luis Listens’ vlog, emphasizing the impact of social media on personal lives.
Despite the challenges, Barbie Forteza remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. Having returned from her vacation, she shared her plans to continue her career and take on new projects.
As part of her future endeavors, Barbie is set to join the cast of the historical drama ‘Pulang Araw,’ alongside David Licauco, Sanya Lopez, and Alden Richards. The actress remains optimistic about her journey in show business, navigating the highs and lows with resilience and determination.
