Rising sexy star Angeli Khang on Wednesday, January 19, was saddened after being compared to other Viva stars.
The sexy actress was also likened to AJ Raval, which she said was pointless given that they each have their own set of talents.
“Ang sad na makita na kino-compare ka sa iba’t-ibang artist dahil each and every one of us, we know that we have something to give.
“We became artists dahil doon sa alam namin na talent na maibibigay namin sa mga tao. And we’re different kind of artists kaya sana ma-appreciate at makita ng mga tao yung craft namin,” she said during the virtual media conference for her upcoming movie Silip sa Apoy.
She, however, is still grateful that her fanbase is growing.
“Thankful po ako na, opo nakikita ko din na dumadami din ang mga fans ko. And I’m thankful for every supporters not even just fans but also my family and friends,” thanked Khang.
The young artist also had difficulty grasping the reality that she is now famous.
“Nagugulat ako everytime. Parang in shock pa rin ako kapag nakikilala ako ng mga tao. Up until now, somewhat nandoon pa rin ang hiya ko kasi minsan, hindi pa rin ako maka-act ng normal kasi tingin nga nila sa akin as an artist. But also nakaka-flatter din, nakakataba ng puso na meron na palang nakakakilala sa akin.”
At the same time, Khang said it became harder to move since people were now keeping an eye on her.
“Parang ang hirap maglakad lang, kahit maglakad ka lang sa labas, basta kilala ka ng tao. Kasi guard mo yung sarili mo sa kung ano ang ginagawa mo. Takot ka sa mga bashers kung anong p’wedeng masabi ng mga tao sa’yo,” she noted.
She worked for the first time with filmmaker Mac Alejandre in Silip sa Apoy and admitted that the director helped her feel that the movie is her best work yet.
“Yes, opo. Talagang sobrang naging thankful ako na naka-work ko si Direk Mac. Dahil after nitong movie, naging iba ang pananaw ko sa movies, naging iba ang pananaw ko as an actor, and talagang kitang-kita ko ang growth ko as an actress.”
Khang is joined by Sid Lucero, Paolo Gumabao, and Jela Cuenca in the movie. It tells the story of an unhappy housewife who falls in love with her neighbor.
Catch the movie on Vivamax this January 28.
