Yasmien Kurdi Luckier Than Jennylyn Mercado When It Comes To Lovelife

YASMIEN KURDI is younger than Jennylyn Mercado in real life but in “Rhodora X”, she plays Jen’s older sister. “Yes, ate niya ako rito and I don’t mind,” says Yasmien, who came to the presscon with her good-looking husband, Rey Soldevilla, a licensed pilot. “I just love working again with Jen and Mark Herras here dahil matagal na kaming hindi nagkakatrabaho. This time, pag-aagawan namin si Mark. Akong pakakasalan ni Mark but aagawin siya ni Jen from me kasi gusto niyang maghiganti sa akin. She thinks ako ang dahilan kung bakit siya nakidnap noong mga bata pa kami.”

Yasmien is glad that GMA-7 gave her the chance to make a comeback after she got married and had a child. “Nagbalik ako sa ‘Anna Karenina’ in a special role. Now, mas maganda ang role ko rito sa ‘Rhodora X’. Magkakaroon ako ng pangit na peklat na mukha dahil kay Jen. I’m also thankful to my husband dahil supportive siya sa decision kong mag-act uli. Alam niyang I really miss this. Hindi naman ako magiging pabayang ina sa baby namin kahit busy ako sa tapings.”

In a way, she’s luckier than Jen because she is married to her husband, unlike Jen who’s been unlucky with several boyfriends. “At least, bonggang-bongga naman ang career niya. Pinagdarasal ko rin nga na makatagpo na sana siya ng lalaking maghaharap sa kanya sa altar. I’m sure darating din yun one of these days.”
