On February 4, Roommate stars Jhassy Busran and Heindrick Sitjar talked about what makes their love team different from the rest.
At the media conference for their digital series, Roommate, Sitjar cited their chemistry as one of their x-factors as an on-screen pair.
“Mayroon kaming chemistry, lahat naman eh. Pero ang naiisip ko lang, kung itatapat kami sa ibang lveo team, basta ganon na.”
As for Busran, she thanked attributed their budding success to their fans.
“‘Yung other love teams kasi mayroon din silang fans, malaki na ‘yung fandoms nila. Pero, ‘yung difference niya eh ‘yung sa amin talaga, nakikita ko talaga na very supportive sila na alam mo na kahit anong gawin namin sinusuportahan nila kami.
“Simpleng ginagawa lang naming dalawa, mayroon kaming– sila mayroon kaming JhasRick fans na– very supportive sila. So ‘yun ‘yung masasabi ko na sobrang supportive nila sa amin. So sila ‘yung mapapagmamalaki ko na mayroon kami, kaming dalawa.”
Busran and Sitjar then recounted how their love team began.
“It was last year po, mayroon din po kasing project si Direk Gabby na pinag-auditionan ko din po, naming dalawa actually, pero ayon, doon siya nag-start sa isang movie na ipapalabas na very soon and nagtuloy-tuloy siya up until now,” said Busran.
“Sabi nga din kanina, doon kami sa isang workshop, di namin inaasahan na magiging magkatrabaho kaming dalawa. Surprise,” Sitjar added.
They also addressed the fans who want to see the love team become a real-life couple.
Busran asserted they’re happy with their current partnership.
“Showbiz po so talagang hindi mawawala ‘yung ganon, pero ang masasabi lang po namin, we’re both happy kung anong mayroon kami ngayon. We’re both enjoying each other’s company, masaya kami as individuals and as partners po. Ayun kung anong mangyari, mangyayari ‘yan. Hindi natin alam pero sa ngayon, we’re both happy.”
Sitjar agreed with Busran, noting that they’re currently focusing on their career.
“Alam mo mararamdaman natin ‘yun pagdating sa pag-ibig, kusang dadating ‘yun. Ewan ko kung anong mayroon kami, sabi nga niya, exactly, happy kami kung anong mayroon kami ngayon. So siguro hindi namin iniisip ‘yung mga ganyang bagay.”
