Thanh Huong - actress of "Quynh Bup Be" said she found balance after breaking up with her ex-husband, ready to open her heart to accept new love.
She talks about life after divorce, current job, and the filming of her new movie - One Family (directed by Trinh Le Phong).
- Why did you recently make public the information about your broken family after more than a year of keeping it a secret?
- I am a sensitive person, I used to feel unstable and confused after letting go. Luckily, my job pulled me out of negative thoughts, like: "I am unlucky in love". I felt it was time to live a new life, change for the better, love someone else instead of living in the past.
Now I am single, ready to open my heart to relationships. I am a normal woman, needing love, wanting someone to share with. Women, no matter how strong, do not always need to be strong, enduring everything alone. I think I am still young, able to love, really want to have a lover but not yet (laughs).
I don't have a specific model, but certainly people of the same frequency will be easy to sympathize with. As long as they can arouse my emotions, vibrations, and come to me with seriousness and sincerity.

- In the past, you have said many times that your marriage is happy because you have a supportive and trusting partner. What made you divorce?
- Life is unpredictable. I don't blame him, I always think that maybe I'm the one at fault when things broke down. He tried very hard, helping me take care of the children when I was busy. The rest is for me to balance everything, but there were times when I couldn't do it.
I am a family person, I rarely go out or hang out, I like to stay home and take care of my family. But acting, performing on stage, singing, and taking extra classes take up a lot of my time. I love my family but I also love my job, which affects everything.
We don’t have a third person. When there was a rift, we both hesitated for a long time, giving each other many chances to mend things but to no avail. There were times when we kept getting back together and then breaking up again. I hesitated a lot, felt regretful, tried to keep the family intact for the children but to no avail.
I was the one who took the initiative, because I thought he could be happier with someone else. He was not surprised because we both went through emotional declines, we both no longer loved each other. I told him to give each other a chance to start a new life, holding on was meaningless. The one who made the decision was just the one who asked. Maybe he also wanted that result but didn't say it because he was afraid of hurting me.

- How do you keep in touch with your ex?
- Since we decided to divorce and complete the procedures, I have not seen my ex-husband again. I only heard rumors that he has a new girlfriend. If it is true, I am happy for him. We broke up in a civilized manner, keeping our image in front of the children. We still text each other about issues related to our two daughters. I never forbade him from seeing the children, nor did I ever speak ill of him to the children. We came together out of sincere love, lived together for more than ten years, and broke up because of fate. I do not blame anything.
I also maintain a good relationship with my ex-mother-in-law. She once texted me, saying, "No matter what happens, you are still my son." I was very sad when some false information was spread, saying that I broke up because of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issue.
- What difficulties do you encounter as a single mother?
- I now live with my parents, and my grandparents help me look after my two children. When I come home late from work, my parents take care of me and ask me questions like a child. Being with my relatives makes me happy and peaceful.
I am a person who does not have many luxury needs, so I do not have financial burdens. I just need a house to live with my children, a car to travel. Most of the time, I am on the film set, eating communal meals. I take care when appearing at events, but in my daily life, I am very simple.
- How do you explain to your children about your decision?
- My two children are 14 and 12 years old, very understanding and mature. I deal with them normally, without hiding anything, without taking things too seriously. At school, the teacher said that my child is still studying well, nothing has changed. Many days, I want to understand my child's feelings but don't know how to start the conversation, my child is the one who takes the initiative to confide in me and encourage me. Once, when I asked him what he thought, he replied: "I don't think about anything. That's your parents' private matter. In my class, many parents are like that, it's okay."
- How did life events help you when playing the role of Khanh - who also had a troubled marriage - in the movie One Family?
- My character is Khanh, kind, hard-working, knows how to take care of the family but gradually becomes selfish and narrow-minded because of the burden of making a living. Before, when I was still living with my ex-husband, every time I came home, I often tried to "get out of character", putting aside the character's emotions. Now that I'm no longer entangled with anything, I often think absent-mindedly all day about the role. Many times, on set, seeing me sitting there, the director called me several times before he heard me. At that time, I didn't know if it was the character's sad feelings or my own. In general, through some excerpts, I'm quite satisfied with my new role, a wife with a complex psychology.

In movies, she did not hesitate to make herself look older and uglier to fit the role. During her lifetime, artist Hoang Dung commented that her student was a person who was eager to learn and loved her job. Her realistic acting evoked sympathy from the audience when she played the roles of girls with difficult lives such as Lan in Quynh Bup Be, Le in Mua Hoa Tim Lai, Luyen in Cuoc Doi Van Dep Sao. In addition to acting, she was the champion of the contest "Tien Sinh Mot Cap" season three, and released a number of music products.
