Susana Gimenez She answered the question that everyone has been asking since last Tuesday, when the great actress Selva Alemán died: why did the presenter not go to the wake even though she has been friends for many years with the widower, Arturo Puig.
In this sense, it was also striking that Susana did not refer to the death of Selva Alemán on her social networks, given that she did do so a few days ago, when Alain Delon died at the age of 88.
When the press asked her about the subject at the Silkey Moda & Coiffure 2024 event, Susana had no problem explaining her absence and also recounted the conversation she had with Arturo Puig.
In this way, she put to rest the speculation that she had not attended Selva Alemán’s wake due to the problem she had with Puig, who directed her in Judas skinwhen the play had a season in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in 2022, and the producer of the show, Gustavo Yankelevich decided not to call Puig to direct in that location.
At the aforementioned event dedicated to beauty, Susana spoke with journalists and Partners of the Show (El Trece) aired the note. Immediately, they asked him:“Were you able to speak with Arturo (Puig) after Selva Alemán’s death?”,
“Of course I do,” Susana Giménez replied.Imagine what Arturo is to meWe were together for 8 years straight. He’s like a brother to me.”

Then, Susana Giménez explained the reasons for her absence at Selva Alemán’s wake“I couldn’t go that day because I had to record it. It was 12 hours,” said the presenter who returns to Telefe’s screen next Sunday at 10pm, and who last Wednesday recorded a sketch with players from the National Team at the AFA grounds.
That said, referring to Puig, he said: “I couldn’t go, but I spoke to him. I told him: ‘Arturo, as soon as I finish everything I have to do, I’m going to give you a hug. I want to be with you.'”
Susana Giménez: “I told Arturo: ‘You are blessed, you spent 50 years with the love of your life.'” TV capture.
“I tried to calm him down, to not make him cry,” Susana continued. “I told him: ‘You are blessed, you spent 50 years with the love of your life.’ And he told me: ‘You’re right, the love of my life.”.

In recent days, Ángel De Brito had launched the version that in the absence of Gasalla, given that he is very ill, Susana would count on the participation of Dear Pardiacthe character played by Julián Kartún.
Far from confirming it, Susana was extremely cautious on the subject.I don’t know if he’s going to be there. Nobody told me anything.“I’m still recording and I don’t know, we’ll keep trying,” he said.
And he added: “Nobody can do what Antonio does.no one I know. We’ll see if anyone can make me laugh like him. I don’t think so, but there are always new people,” he concluded.
