Blooming and back in showbiz, the gorgeous Sarah Lahbati performed on the Marian dance floor. What did Sarah share with the Kapuso Primetime Queen during their heart-to-heart talk after her fun production number?
 
Baby Zion
 
The beaming Sarah shared, “Sobrang saya ko. I’m very blessed with Zion. Sobrang happy baby lang siya. He’s our daily dose of happiness. Parang sa umaga ‘pag kita mo sa kanya, pampasaya lang. Blessed kami ni Chard with Zion.”
 
To this, Marian replied, “Nakita ko kanina, nainggit tuloy ako. Sobrang cute niya, ‘no? Para siyang doll.”
 
Sarah quipped, “Gusto ko na rin magka-baby si Yan." Marian laughingly said, “Kailan kaya iyon, this year?”
 
Life in Switzerland and showbiz

In 2009, Sarah won the fifth season of the reality talent search, StarStruck. She spend most of her life in Switzerland before entering showbiz.
 
She told Marian,“Doon, simpleng simple ‘yung buhay ko. Only child ako, only daughter sa daddy ko, si Abdel and mommy ko, si Esther. Simpleng buhay na masaya, school girl and ‘pag summer, uuwi kami dito. ‘Pag winter, magsi-ski ako with my dad and friends.”
 
When Marian asked how showbiz changed her, Sarah replied: “Siguro mas naging creative ako pagdating sa art, sa pag-perform, pagkanta, pagsayaw. Siyempre, when you perform every week, linggo-linggo kang pinapagawa ng iba-ibang performances, nagiging creative ka at lalo na kapag ang mga nakakatrabaho mo ay sobrang mahuhusay at creative. Mas matututo ka.”
 
Richard Gutierrez
 
Marian couldn’t help but ask Sarah about the love of her life, actor Richard Gutierrez. Out of all their bondings so far, which is the most memorable for Sarah. “Paris. Doon talaga kami na-in love sa isa’t isa,” she gushed.
 
What does she love most about Richard?
 
“Sobrang totoong tao niya, sobrang bait. Alam mo iyan dahil nakatrabaho mo siya. Walang masamang tinapay, sobrang mabait, sobrang mapagmahal sa pamilya, sa mga kaibigan, lagi siyang nandiyan kapag kailangan mo siya. ‘Yun ‘yung napansin ko kahit noong magkaibigan pa lang kami. I am blessed,” she said.
 
Sarah added that right now, with a beautiful family and a worthwhile career, she simply couldn’t ask for more.
