Maja Salvador Became emotional on Sunday saying she feels hurt that there are people who still can’t accept her relationship with Gerald Anderson.

Salvador earned some haters when Anderson admitted that they are in a relationship. The actor is the former boyfriend of Kim Chiu, Salvador’s erstwhile best friend.

Appearing on “Buzz ng Bayan” on Sunday, Salvador said she is only human who gets hurt every time negative things are said about her.

“Tao lang naman po ako. Nakakapagod din na marami kang naririnig na alam mong hindi naman ikaw ‘yon. Kahit na kilala mo ang sarili mo kung sino ka talaga, maaapektuhan ka kasi tatanungin mo, bakit may mga taong kaya nilang sabihin iyon kahit na hindi naman nila alam?” she said.

The “Legal Wife” star then broke into tears when she said it’s painful to see her mother cry because of false accusations against her.

“Sinasabi niya kung gaano niya ako kamahal at na kilala niya ako, kilala niya kung sino ang anak niya, na kahit anong sabihin ng iba, hindi importante iyon kasi nakita niya ako kung paano ko mahalin ang mga tao sa paligid ko at kung paano ko sila pahalagahan,” she said.

While she values the approval of the people around her, Salvador said she is content knowing that her loved ones support her.

“Sa akin sobrang mahalaga po [ang approval ng mga tao]. 'Yung mga taong nakapaligid naman sa amin ngayon, masaya para sa amin. Pero intindihin din po natin na may mga ibang tao na never nilang matatanggap at maiintindihan pero wala tayong magagawa kundi respetuhin ‘yun,” she said.

Role on ‘Legal Wife’

Meanwhile, Salvador said she did not hesitate to accept her role in “The Legal Wife” even if she portrays the mistress in the series.

Salvador said she is not worried that people might associate her with that of a mistress.

“Para sa akin, artista ako. Ang ganda nitong project na ibinibigay sa akin, bakit ko tatanggihan? Hindi ako doon sa kung ano ang sasabihin ng mga tao,” she said.

Indirectly saying she never snatched Anderson from anyone, Salvador said: “Ang layo ng character ko sa kung ano man ang nangyari sa akin sa totoong buhay.”

“Sa lahat naman para maging successful ka, dapat mayroon ka talagang pagdadaanan at mahihirapan ka. Hindi naman lahat madali. Pero bandang huli alam mong magiging worth it ang lahat,” she said.
