“With this campaign, I think it’s very different with the others. It’s very wild in social media,” she said. “I guess it’s a blessing that I’ve been an actress for 18 years so the bashing and the mudslinging is no different.”

“Before when I said I’m going to get married, I thought my life is going to be peaceful. But then, I ended up with a politician so it slightly got a little complicated,” she said. “Now, I look forward to a more quiet life. I’m very ok. I can have a quiet life and I’m happy.”
