“But before, we considered the duty of a child, an actor, or a taxable citizen. The sand is already complete. So here is an area where we should take care of the people who will live on from us… At some point, Sand had to decide to break up with his boyfriend because there was a matter of the safety of him and his family … (What I do) Does it have a high price? It is high, but asks if you can’t afford it. It’s still moving… because the sand won’t be happy. If today is your girlfriend’s birthday Then one of the younger ones got a subpoena or arrested Sand was unable to go to eat like … Is Sand will become a bad girlfriend. It will be uncomfortable. “
Indira does not hide the state of mind that was once weak. She admits that going out to work in public at the moment has helped her to enjoy the joy of supporting the active youth group. Despite the depressing feeling when seeing government measures But the comforting thing is to see that the youth get what she supports in their activities, and that they feel that they are useful. “It was a child-like feeling at a school show,” she said happily.
But if you look back in the profession that you have been with Indira may have been considered a different person.
Fortunately, Sand has no friends in the show industry. Sand knows that the weight of each individual element in life is not the same. We’ve been through the point that if you do this, your mother and younger sister will not be safe at that time. We have already made it. We are still not able to go. And then some people can’t trust him that much, and it is not a mistake for him to choose a family or to choose security. Or something like this Therefore, I didn’t feel any expectation or disappointment. “
