“Playing romantic roles presents unique challenges for me, especially when it involves kissing and touching scenes,” the actress stated. Handling the professionalism and genuineness needed for these kinds of situations can be challenging.
“These roles become more complex when one must strike a balance between personal comfort and the demands of the script. A nuanced approach is necessary to ensure a convincing, yet respectful, performance.”
Speaking about her struggles, Laide claimed that it has been challenging to navigate relationships and discover true love. She also mentioned that many people tend to focus more on her acting career than her personal life.
“As an actress and filmmaker, navigating relationships and finding true love is my primary challenge,” the actress stated. Sometimes, rather than the true nature of who I am, people are drawn to my rank and line of work. Identifying sincere relationships from those founded on celebrity thus becomes a tricky undertaking.
