After her two-year telenovela hiatus, Ana Brenda Contreras is back in the small screen in "Lo Imperdonable" ---based on the 1998 "La Mentira." The Mexican actress, who has been the leading lady in novelas such as "Corazón Indomable" and "La Que No Podía Amar," now stars alongside Ivan Sanchez in the Univision soap opera that airs at 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.
We chit-chatted with the 28-year-old actress, who talked to us about not only her journey in the novela, but also about her character, Verónica Prado Castelo, and how it's been a challenge yet rewarding in her career. Check out our Q&A below!
Latin Times: How has the experience been for you in "Lo Imperdonable"?
Ana Brenda Contreras: It's been a very enriching experience. A challenge in my career because Veronica is nothing like the other roles I've done, especially since I had to portray a strong character and less conventional in the melodrama.
LT: What similarities do you have with Veronica?
ABC: Her strength and her family values!
LT: How has it been working alongside Ivan Sanchez?
ABC: Ivan is a helpful and considerate colleague. He's a very committed and respectful partner. We have a lot of fun, we're always laughing and making jokes. If someone makes a mistake on set, we bust out laughing! It's been an honor to meet him!
LT: What have you learned as part of this production and cast?
ABC: You always learn something news and from this production, I take with me new friends and unforgettable lessons.
LT: What three words best describe "Lo Imperdonable"?
ABC: Revenge, Love and Passion.
LT: Besides telenovelas, you've also done film and theater. What do you enjoy about acting in all three?
ABC: I enjoy acting in all three. In theater, it's the adrenaline of having the audience present. In TV, it's the rhythm, it's day-by-day. And in film, the power to have more time to prepare, everything is more cautious.
LT: In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, what does it mean for you to be Hispanic?
ABC: It fills me with great pride and a very big responsibility!
LT: What projects will you be working on after "Lo Imperdonable"?
ABC: I'm currently in the musical "Mentiras" and I'll be touring with them until the end of the year.
