Rita Daniela was ready to leave showbiz but “when Aubrey came into my life, everything changed.”
Kapuso actress Rita Daniela revealed that she was ready to migrate abroad to be a performer until she was given the role of Aubrey in My Special Tatay in 2018.
Rita has been with GMA Network since she won the first season of PopStar Kids in 2006 but it was only in 2018 that she was given the biggest break in her acting career.
“When Aubrey came into my life, everything changed,” Rita said.
“Everything changed, even my perspective in life changed.
“Sobra pong nabago ng My Special Tatay ang buhay ko. Sobrang nabago ni Aubrey at Boyet ang buhay ko.”
Boyet was the name of Ken Chan's character who has a mild intellectual disability. He was also the father of Aubrey's child in the series.
“Akala ko po noon, bago ko po kasi nakuha 'yung role na Aubrey, akala ko po nun talaga, 'yun na po 'yung end ng career ko talaga sa show business,” Rita revealed.
“Ready na po ako noon na magbagong buhay, na pupunta na lang ako sa ibang bansa para mag-perform, kumanta, at sumayaw.
“Pero, I guess, pinili lang po ako ni Lord kasi mukhang kailangan ko pa rin din talaga i-portray pa si Aubrey.”
After the successful run of My Special Tatay, Rita and Ken were once again paired in the primetime show One of the Baes.
RitKen also served as The Clash Season 2 Journey Hosts alongside Clash Masters Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz.
