Yasmien Kurdi One Of Two Actresses Married To A Non-Showbiz Husband Who's Better Looking Than Some Of Our Actors

YASMIEN KURDI says that playing the role of Dolores in the long-running "Yagit" has affected her even in real life. "Sobrang nadadala ko yung character," she says. "Kahit binabasa ko pa lang yung script, naaapektuhan na ako at tumutulo na ang luha ko. Kung minsan nga, sa eksena, hindi ko alam, umiiyak na pala ako bilang ina ni Chlaui Malayao as Elisa na ilang beses nang nakidnap. Sa mga tagpo namang lumalaban si Dolores sa mga nang-aapi sa kanya, like si Bettina Carlos as Izel na isa sa mga umaapi sa amin, inaaway ko talaga siya nang totohanan. So there are times I tell myself, teka, teka, let's take a break. Hinuhubad ko yung character mula sa consciousness ko. I have to separate myself from her at iniiwanan ko muna siya sa isang tabi."

They all feel sad that "Yagit" will have its conclusion this week. "Yes, matatapos na kami on Friday after almost one year on the air. Tiyak na iyakan sa last taping day namin on Wednesday dahil magpapaalaman na kami at hindi na kami magkikita regularly sa set like we've gotten used to do. The serial ends na masaya kaming lahat as we had a good successful run. Maraming nakapansin sa color schemes ng aming characters. Like ako, laging naka-yellow, si LJ Reyes, naka-red, si Raquel Villavicencio as Donya Claudia, naka-violet, etc. Ang dami ring nakapag-guest na ibang artista sa amin, including Bea Binene, Kiko Estrada, Nova Villa at marami pang iba. So we'll end na marami kaming good memories about the show and I like to thank all the stars, staff who I got to work with and all the viewers who supported us."

Her daughter Ayesha Zara is now two years old. When does she and her husband Rey Soldevilla intend to have a second baby? "As of now, wala kaming plano. Ang hirap kasi, kahapon lang kami nagkayaya. Nakuha namin from Zamboanga kasi tagaroon ang husband ko. We'll wait munang lumaki-laki si Ayesha bago namin sundan."

Yasmien is one of two local actresses who has a very good looking non-swhobiz husband. Another one is Sunshine Dizon, whose hubby is Timothy Tan. Both Rey and Timothy can give some actors a run for their money if they'd wish to join showbiz also.
