very popular TV show“ Asia’ s Next Top Model”. How does acting in a reality TV show differ from playing a character in a drama and which do you find more challenging?
They are extremely different. For one, I ' m not“ acting” on ANTM. True, there are some scripts I have to follow, but that ' s mainly for me to describe the rules and details of the various challenges the girls will have to face that day, or when I have a message to deliver via“ Cindy Mail”. Everything else is real and unscripted and happens on the spot. How I am ultimately portrayed, depends on the editors. I do play up my Tiger Mom persona at times when needed to get my point across but pretty much what you see is what you get on the show. I would say it is more challenging than playing a character in a drama, as the emotions are real and can be very strong for everyone involved.
In addition to modeling and acting you are also the owner and creator of " Mama ' s Secret " maternal skin care line. Please tell us about that?
