“Natatakot din naman po ako,” says Kris on the set. “Tao lang po, kinakabahan din. Pero siempre, hangga’t maari, ayokong dayain ang viewers na talagang sumusuporta sa aming show tuwing hapon kaya laging mataas ang aming rating. Doon sa eksenang ikinulong ako sa loob ng kotse, tapos yung kotse, ihinulog sa bangin, sobrang nerbiyos ko doon. Kasi umuulan-ulan pa, madulas, so may possibility talagang mahulog nang todo yung kotse sa bangin. But they assured me na may proper safety measures naman so ginawa ko. Sobra-sobra na lang ang nasabi kong dasal habang sinu-shoot yung eksenang yun at awa ng Diyos, naitawid naman namin nang maayos.”
But more than the risky scenes, she finds her regular exhange of personalities on the set even more tiring. “Struggle talaga yung tuwing may taping, walang tigil ang pagpapalit-palit ko ng roles as Nimfa and Rosette. Kasi hindi lang looks, costume, make up ang ginagawaan ko ng make over kundi pati ang pagkatao nila dahil exact opposites yung dalawang characters na ginagampanan ko. Pero kahit na draining siya, masayang-masaya akong sa akin napunta ang dual roles na ito dahil dito ko naranasan maging both ako yung bida at yung kontrabida. Si Nimfa, laging umiiyak, si Rosette laging matapang at palaban. Mas hirap ako kay Rosette na nagmumura at nananakit ng co-stars ko kasi hindi talaga ako sanay sa ganun in real life.”
Kris’ leading man, Rafael Rosell, celebrated his birthday on November 10 and she wrote him a beautiful message in her socmed account: “Happiest birthday, Pogi. I feel so lucky to work with an actor who knows the balance between great professionalism and fun! Enjoy your day, you deserve it! I would like to take this privilege to tell you that you are a perfect onscreen partner and a friend.”
To which Rafael responded: “Thank you so much. I’m really happy to be your screen partner. Thanks for the love and trust. I’ll always be grateful.”
It looks like Kris and Rafael have really become so comfortable and at ease with each other after working in “Impostora” for more than half a year now. No wonder some folks are insinuating something romantic must now be really going on between now even off cam.
