Kapuso actress Sanya Lopez recently shared her emotional struggles regarding her family during an interview on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’ on June 12.
In the discussion, Sanya revealed that she is currently facing personal challenges that have affected her relationship with her family. When Boy Abunda asked her about the aspects of family life she feels capable of handling and those she finds overwhelming, Sanya’s responses indicated a deep emotional turmoil.
“Kaya ko yung laro na lahat kami magkakahiwalay sa ngayon dahil alam naming may mangyayari in the future na maganda,” Sanya said, referring to the sacrifices she and her family are making.
She elaborated, “Kumbaga, may mga bagay ka na kailangan isakripisyo sa ngayon kung hindi kayo magkakasama, but later on, alam mo naman na para rin sa ating lahat yon.”
However, Sanya admitted that the thought of her family giving up on her is something she cannot bear. “Siguro po yung larong hindi ko kaya ay yung darating sa time na yung buhay, unti-unti, hindi natin alam magkakasama pa rin tayo, nagkakasakit ba o ano. ‘Yun po ang laro na hindi ko kakayanin—losing them at yung sumuko na yung pamilya. ‘Yung laro na sumusuko na sila. Sumusuko sila sa mga bagay na… ikaw, sinusukuan ka na nila. ‘Yung pagmamahal nila sa yo, sinusukuan na,” she said, visibly emotional.
Boy Abunda then asked if she ever felt that her family was giving up on her. Sanya responded, “Hindi naman, Tito Boy, though siguro we had understanding din naman din. Pero pagdating sa mga ganoon, importante talaga yung larong maiintindihan ka (ng pamilya mo). Siguro sa trabaho natin, hindi ganoon kadali. Ang feeling nila, ang dali-dali lang maging artista. Ang dali-dali lang ng ginagawa nating trabaho.”
Sanya confessed that her family’s misconceptions about her career add to her burden. “Pero yung mapahiwalay ka sa pamilya mo, mahirap yon. Akala nila (ang dami-daming pera, sobrang yaman),” she said, holding back tears.
In addition to her personal struggles, Sanya is currently starring in the film ‘Playtime,’ which is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
