It's another night of pride for actress Bow Meldaz Sushree, who has just won a major Natarach Award for the first time in her life. Adding to the sweetness, she's also opened up about her boyfriend, Alec Theeradeej Methavarayut, who recently graced the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. This achievement marks a double triumph for both her career and her heart.
When asked what award she won, Bow explained: "The award is for 'Best Leading Actress' in Drama and Long Form Series. I'm incredibly happy about it. I honestly didn't think I would win since it was my first time here. When they announced my name, I was still joking around with friends. My senior told me not to look flustered on camera, so I tucked my hair back (mimicking the gesture)."
Asked if she was nervous when her name was called, she said: "Not at all. In that moment, I was just thinking I needed to remember my thank you speech. My senior also warned me not to look shocked when the camera catches me."
On whether she was ready to stand up when her name was announced: "Yes, I was ready. By that time, I had already chatted with friends and calmed my nerves. Even though I was nervous inside, I managed to get through it because my friends were so supportive."
Is this her first Natarach experience? "Yes, it's my first time at Natarach and my first time winning it too. Thank you very much to all the judges for this honor."
When asked if the Natarach Award is notoriously difficult to win in the industry, she responded: "Yes, it's quite stressful. People probably come to watch drama just to relax."
On what she thinks contributed to her win: "I really can't say for sure what made me win. Our drama is a comedy, so maybe it's because the entertainment industry and Thai society are quite stressed right now, and people seem to look back on things. I honestly don't know how they judged it. The judges might have appreciated the humor, but my senior really worked hard on this character, which I think was a big part of helping me get this award."
Regarding her character Khun Phi Jao Kha, Bow noted: "People kept saying I was playing myself. My senior once told me that truly playing yourself is not actually possible, so I thought a lot about how to make it not just me. That was the challenge and the intention I put into the performance, and it turned out to be successful."
When the drama aired and received great responses, Bow confirmed: "Yes, it was a masterpiece. Thank you to my senior and thank you to Diew for suggesting to my senior that I was available."
As for calling her boyfriend to brag about the win: "Not yet. I only told him that I looked beautiful today. He's walking around Cannes right now and is about to come back. He's flying down."
On how she plans to show off to her boyfriend: "Maybe we'll do a video call. It might not show my face, but this (holding up the award). For tonight, this award will be sleeping with us!"
Speaking directly to her boyfriend Alec: "Alec Theeradeej, right now Bow Meldaz has her own award. Besides being Thailand's SuperModel, I now also have the Natarach Award, officially verified."
