Yasmien Kurdi Faces A Personal Trial With Tumor On Her Throat That Needs Immediate Operation

YASMIEN KURDI has been diagnosed to have a growth in her throat when she had a medical check up recently. “I was wondering kasi bakit laging akong parang paos,” she says. “Hirap na hirap akong kumanta at magsalita. Yun pala, may cyst raw sa lalamunan ko at gusto ng doctor, operahan agad. Para malaman daw kung benign o malignant siya. E, pag tinanggal ngayon, one month daw akong hindi puede mag-talk. Paano yun, extended pa naman ang ‘Rhodora X’. Di hindi na ko puede mag-taping? E, very important yung role ko sa story as Angela.”

So what will she do? “I guess I just have to wait na matapos ang show. But as it is, mahirap talaga lalo sa mga eksenang kailangang sumigaw ako tapos namamaos ako. Ang worry ko lang, baka after maoperahan ako, hindi bumalik ang dati kong boses. E, singer ako. I really love singing dahil yan ang first love ko. Balak ko ngang mag-recording uli. E, sabi ng doctor, hindi raw sigurado kung mababalik ang boses ko. Nakakatakot.”

Yasmien is proud that it’s not only title-roler Jennylyn Mercado who’s getting good feedback in “Rhodora X” but also her as Angela. “Siempre, mas demanding ang role niya dahil siya ang title role at iba’t iba pang personalities niya. Pero marami rin namang nakakagusto sa interpretation ko kay Angela. Pareho naman kaming bida-kontrabida ang role. Hindi kami black or white dito. Pareho kaming gray characters kaya mas challenging. Mas naging complicated ang story kasi nakipagkalas na ko kay Mark Anthony Fernandez as Nico, pero ayaw siyang pumayag. Kinidnap ako at ang anak ni Rhodora, pero pinatakas kami ng brother niyang si Ken Chan. Natanggap ko nang may personality disorder talaga si Jennylyn as Rhodora at nagkasundo na kami uling magkapatid. Pero dahil naghalikan kami ni Mark Herras as Joaquin, nagalit si Rhodora at nabuhay uli ang evil alter ego niyang si Roxanne. ”
