Actress Sunshine Cruz admitted she regretted her decision in the past to accept daring roles, saying that the ghost of her former self was still following her.
In an interview with Boy Abunda, Sunshine said that even her children were affected by the remarks of some people who were aware of her showbiz career.
“I get affected kasi ‘yung mga bata dapat hindi nadadamay pero ngayon naisip ko ang importante kung talaga ‘yung mga nakakakilala sa’kin at naiintindihan ako at mahal ako,” she said.
She also informed her children, Angelina, Samantha, and Angel about her past roles.
“Nung time na ready na sila at kahit papano ay maiintindihan na nila ako, dun ko sinabi sa kanila. Hangga’t maaari kasi gusto ko sa’kin manggagaling hindi sa ibang tao,” she stated.
Sunshine also revealed that her showbiz history also became a big factor in why her relationship with actor Cesar Montano failed.
“There was a time na ni-regret ko ‘yun especially naging malaking parte ‘yun ng aming separation ng aking ex-husband. But at the end of the day, mas naging stronger ako; mas natuto ako,” she stated.
Despite the challenges she faced, Sunshine proved her in showbiz without doing daring roles.
“Ang ginawa ko lang, mas pinatunayan ko sa mga tao na hindi lang ako sexy star. I can also be a singer, I can be an actress, and most especially, I am a good mom. I know that for a fact. Lahat naman tayo nagkakamali, nagkakaroon ng maling desisyon noong mga bata pa tayo. Pero ang importante ay kung ano tayo ngayon.”,” she said.
