Is TV host-actress Megan Young jealous of her younger sister's big show biz break?
During the Kapamilya Gold trade event on Tuesday, rising drama actress Lauren Young has belied rumors that her older sister, who joined show business long before her, is envious of her upcoming TV series, the "Mula Sa Puso" remake. Lauren will play the lead in the series.
"Laging ganyan 'yung tanong sa amin. No. Kami ng sister ko, napaka-close namin. She's one of my best friends. We live together so lagi kaming nagkikita. Kung siya may show, masaya ako sa kanya. Kung ako may show, masaya [rin] siya," said Lauren.
The 17-year-old actress added: "It's good na parehas kaming may show ngayon at sabay ni-launch so we're very happy for each other."
When asked about Megan's reaction when she finally got the job, Lauren shared, "We started jumping around. Parehas kaming masaya kasi this is what I've been waiting for [for] so long. Pinaghirapan ko 'to. She's very happy for me and I'm very happy for her."
Lauren also stressed that show biz will never destroy the healthy relationship between her and her sister.
"Hindi naman dadating to the point na we're going to ruin our personal relationships dahil sa trabaho, dahil 'di naman tama 'yun for a family," she ended.
'Packaging'
In a separate interview, the older Young meantime defended herself saying that there is no brewing competition as she and Lauren have their own respective showbiz identities.
"I don't think na may competition kasi iba eh. Iba 'yung imaging. Iba 'yung packaging naming dalawa," she said.
"Alam naman natin na si Lauren ay sa dramatic side siya. Bigay na natin sa kanya 'yun. Sa akin naman kasi, iba 'yung packaging namin, ang show namin, lalo na 'yung show ko is a part of PHR, 'Precious Hearts [Romances]'. Iba talaga ang packaging," said Megan.
On the other hand, Megan humbly admitted that her younger sister is a better drama actress compared to her.
"Tanggap ko na 'yun. Sa akin naman, ibigay niyo na sa akin ang hosting (laughs)... Pero I also love acting. Sobrang gusto kong nagpe-play ng iba't-ibang characters. But of course, sa aming dalawa ni Lauren, we learn from each other," she added.
Asked who is sexier between her and Lauren, however, Megan quickly replied: "I am."
