- Phenomenal Kapuso star Maine Mendoza still finds her success overwhelming to this date
- She said that she’s aware of the life of a Showbiz icon
Maine Mendoza had her big showbiz break in 2015 when she got discovered through her hilarious Dubsmashes. She gained attention for her puppy crush on “Pambansang Bae” Alden Richards of TAPE Inc.’s longest noontime show “Eat Bulaga.”
Since then, people matched the two together and gave birth to “AlDub” which later star on a segment in the show called “Kalyeserye.” It instantly became a hit on national TV.
Two years in, Maine still can’t believe she’s in the middle of it all.
“Sobrang bilis talaga ng mga nangyari sa amin ni Alden (Richards). Lalo na po sa akin. Two years pa nga lang ako, ganito na, sunod-sunod.”
“Parang hindi ko pa rin maisip kung ano ba ang meron. Bakit? Parang isang question sa akin yun na hindi ko po masasagot.”
Maine believes that their fans are one of the biggest reasons of their fame. If it weren’t for them, their love team would never have stayed and got this far.
“Siguro po, dahil na rin ito sa mga sumusuporta sa amin ni Alden na very supportive sa mga i-neendorse namin. Kapag nakikita na may bago akong endorsements, talagang sinusuportahan nila.”
Down to earth
However, the 22-year-old star knows that this might not go on forever, knowing the life in the industry.
“Kasi po, hindi ko naman pinangarap na mapunta sa ganitong posisyon. Kasi, akala po siguro ng iba, madali siya, very relaxed. Akala po si-guro nila, puro glitz and glamour, walang paghihirap sa ganitong buhay. Siyempre, meron din pong downside ang pagiging artista.”
Maine’s fans and relatives shared that she remained humble even with the overflowing blessings she receives. Maine tries her best to always be herself and not be too consumed by her career.
“Siguro ito yung isang bagay na hindi ka dapat malunod. Kasi, pana-panahon lang din naman po ‘yan. Ang sa akin na lang, habang nasa ‘yo, enjoy mo.”
