AJ RAVAL is tagged as the new Pantasya ng Bayan for baring her body in the films she did.
Of course, bashers quickly came to attack her to the point of body shaming her. How does she react to them?
“Ay, wala po akong pakialam sa kanila,” she says at the presscon of her latest skin flick, “Taya”.
“When I did my first movie, ‘Gusto Kong Maging Pornstar’, kasama ko si Mama Rosanna Roces and she advised me na sa pagpasok ko sa pagpapa-sexy, kailangang matatag ang loob ko at wala akong pakialam sa sasabihin ng ibang tao. Lagi kong tinatandaan yun.”
She says she knows she’s not perfect but she doesn’t feel insecure about her height, her looks, the shape of her body, her skin color and even the size of her boobs.
“Hindi ko naman gagawin ito kung sa tingin ko, wala akong K (karapatan). Kaya kaysa magpaapekto ako sa bashers, I just focus on my work para mas mapagbuti ko ang acting ko.
"Kung ang Viva nga nagtitiwala sa akin at sunod-sunod ang movies ko sa kanila, bakit ko naman papansinin yung bashers? Ang importante, masaya ako sa ginagawa at enjoy ako mag-artista.”
In “Taya”, she plays a sexy girl who is the prize in an online betting game. Her partner, Sean de Guzman, plays a student who gets addicted to gambling. Has she tried gambling herself?
“Hindi po ako, but yung ex-boyfriend ko. Naging addict siya sa pagsusugal hanggang sa nagkabaon-baon siya sa utang at ako na ang nai-stress kasi ako ang nagbabayad sa mga utang niya.
"Kaya ang wish ko, sana mapanood niya itong ‘Taya’ para matutuhan niyang hindi dapat maging sobrang sugapa sa sugal. Dahil lahat ng sobra, masama.”
Aside from AJ, two new nymphets are also introduced in “Taya”, Jela Cuenca and Angeli Khang. Like AJ, both of them are also just too ready to bare their nubile bodies in front of the camera in “Taya”. “The movie really has a lot to offer, hindi lang ako,” says AJ.
How did she handle her sex scenes with Sean?
“We had a workshop along with sina Jela and Angeli, and Direk Roman Perez explained to us what he’ll require from us. Naging open kami ni Sean sa isa’t isa at walang wall between us.
"And during the shoot, he keeps on asking us kung ok pa ba kami, kung kaya pa ba namin. Napakagaan katrabaho ni Direk kasi hindi ka niya pipilitin kung ayaw mo. We enjoyed working with him.”
