Sanya Lopez or Shaira Lenn Osuna Roberto in real life is one of the most talented, hardworking, and beautiful Kapuso actresses of her generation.
At 14, Sanya got her first big break in showbiz when she was discovered by the late starmaker and host German "Kuya Germs" Moreno on the set of 'Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman' where her brother, Jak Roberto was a mainstay. In an interview, Lopez narrated how fans mistook her for actress Kim Rodriguez who was also on the said show. Since then, Moreno has included her in the program as one of his co-hosts. This kickstarted her career and launched her into stardom.
In 2015, she starred in one of her first acting roles in 'The Half Sisters.' The following year, she starred as Danaya in the 2016 remake of 'Encantadia,' a role that later catapulted her to stardom.
