Maja on a bolder image in ‘Nagsimula Sa Puso’..

Maja Salvador

Actress-model Maja Salvador arrived at the press con of her new teleserye Nagsimula Sa Puso last September 16 in a red designer dress with a deep neckline which showed a lot more skin than usual. “I wasn’t changed so much. I’m still sweet. Just sexyier, something bolder. Its just like I want to let people see that Maja is already a womn coz I’m turning 21. And I’m ready to do whatever projects ABS-CBN would give me,” she began.

The actress said that she didn’t have to be convinced to be more daring for her launching project because she immediately fell in love with the script and the challenges that came with it. ”I know I’ll enjoy coz I really love and value my work,” she added.

While her fellow young stars like Kim Chiu who shot her first love scene with Gerald Anderson recently in Tayong Dalawa and Erich Gonzales who was paired with Ejay Falcon in Katorse have taken on more mature roles, Maja said that she will be offering something different. “Erich is sexy but because ‘Katorse’ she still looks like a teenager. While Kim as Audrey in Tayong Dalawa, anyhow she’s doing a mature job. But on me, you’ll also see a different Maja coz I’m a young college professor here.” Maja is also set on getting the same success that Kim and Erich have in their respective teleseryes. “If it needs to be competition, go! I’m gonna shine,” she joked.

She further shared how overwhelmed she was to be working with award-winning actors such as Jason Abalos and Coco Martin. In the story, Jason plays her childhood sweetheart while Coco is the student with whom she starts a forbidden relationship. The actress said she has already shot her first love scenes with both actors, something she describes as an unforgettable experience.

Maja Slavador has no regrets about the long wait she had to undergo before getting her launching project. “This is the launching which I’ve waited for. On Annaliza and Moonriver, I was sad when they were not resumed but I just think that it was not yet the one for me and there’s something coming out for me. When Nagsimula Sa Puso was given to me, I was really super happy coz ABS-CBN had really taken care of me and the business unit of Sir Deo (Endrinal). They were saying to me that this is the show that I’ve been waiting for, so we’ll give it to you. So I promised myself that I will do my best to bring them back the honor and so that they would still trust me,” she beamed.
