Teen star Mika dela Cruz reveals she was bullied and suffered depression in grade school

Fifteen years old na ang dating child actress na si Mika dela Cruz.
Gaganap siya bilang kontrabida sa upcoming primetime series ng ABS-CBN na Mira Bella, na launching vehicle din ni Julia Barretto.
Unang teenage role ito ni Mika at nahirapan daw siya rito.
Sabi niya sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), “Actually, sobrang nahirapan po ako dito dahil kontrabida na flirty na model na everything na wala sa akin.
“Boyish po kasi ako, e—sa pagtayo, sa pananamit.
"Nagsasanay ako and nagtanong ako ng tips sa ate ko."
Si Mika ay bunsong kapatid ng Kapuso actress na si Angelika dela Cruz.


CHALLENGE. Ano ang pinakamagandang payo na naibigay ng ate niya sa kanya?
"Be natural," sagot ni Mika.
Paano yun kung malayo nga sa tunay niyang pagkatao ang kontrabida role niya bilang Iris Robles sa Mira Bella?
Paglilinaw niya, “Hindi po sa ganun.
"Ang sabi niya, kumuha ako ng event sa buhay ko na maire-relate ko dun para lumabas yung totoong emosyon.
"May eksena po kasi na kunyari galit ako.
"Hindi ko maano kung saang level ng galit ako dapat lumugar.
"Kasi ang pagiging kontrabida ko dito, sobrang wild.
“Hindi naman po ako ganung magalit.
