On the possibility of venturing into music, Gomez remained non-committal. “Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know,” she said.

She also highlighted key lessons she has learnt over the years, emphasising hard work, faith, and respect.

“Hard work pays. God always comes through; He never makes mistakes. Respect and humility matter. By respect, I don’t mean based on age alone; everyone deserves to be treated with respect. All those things count,” she added.

Addressing cinema releases, Gomez stressed the need to grow cinema culture while acknowledging that not all films are suited for the big screen.

“It would be nice to have more films in cinemas because it will help grow the culture. But, I don’t believe all films should go to the cinema.

“It depends on the filmmaker. If your budget can carry a cinema release, that’s fine; if it’s YouTube, so be it,” she explained.

Offering advice to aspiring actors, she said, “Believe in yourself, put God first, and work hard.”
