Maja Salvador cries, says negative issues hurt her

Maja Salvador is a mistress in the upcoming series, The Legal Wife, but despite the bashing she receives saying she's portraying a role that she plays in real life, the actress said it is very different from what's happening in her lovelife.

“Ang layo ng character ko sa kung ano man ang nangyari sa akin sa totoong buhay,” she said in Buzz Ng Bayan on Sunday.

She also said that she didn't hesitate to accept the role when it was offered to her because she's an actress and she believes it is a great project.

“Para sa akin, artista ako. Ang ganda nitong project na ibinibigay sa akin, bakit ko tatanggihan? Hindi ako doon sa kung ano ang sasabihin ng mga tao,” she said.

Maja received criticisms when news about her romantic relationship with Gerald Anderson broke out. Gerald is the ex-boyfriend of Kim Chiu, Maja's former bestfriend.

During the interview, Maja confessed how she is hurt by all the negative words thrown against her by her bashers.

"Tao lang naman po ako. Nakakapagod din na marami kang naririnig na alam mong hindi naman ikaw ‘yon. Kahit na kilala mo ang sarili mo kung sino ka talaga, maaapektuhan ka kasi tatanungin mo, bakit may mga taong kaya nilang sabihin iyon kahit na hindi naman nila alam?” she said.

She also wasn't able to fight back her tears when she talked about how those negative issues affect her mother.

"Sinasabi niya kung gaano niya ako kamahal at na kilala niya ako, kilala niya kung sino ang anak niya, na kahit anong sabihin ng iba, hindi importante iyon kasi nakita niya ako kung paano ko mahalin ang mga tao sa paligid ko at kung paano ko sila pahalagahan,” she said.

But of course life goes on for the actress. She said the people close to them are happy with her and Gerald's relationship and that's what matters. She, however, respects the opinions even of those who are against them.
