SINGAPORE: Singapore actress Rui En beat contenders like Chen Li Ping and Jeanette Aw to win the Best Actress award for her performance in the drama “With You”, during the Star Awards 2011 Show 2 held at the Resorts World Convention Centre on Sunday night.
“When I was sitting there [in the audience], I kept telling myself I won’t have to go on stage, because I don’t really like speaking on stage, I feel very awkward and unsuitable for this.
“I didn’t think I would win!” said Rui En, who thanked her fans and her boss for sticking by her through the low points in her career.
“At that time (a low point in her career), my boss was very supportive of me. He kept encouraging me and never gave up on me. I am grateful.”
Although Rui En was pleasantly surprised to win the Best Actress award and Top 10 Favourite Female Artistes award on Sunday, the 30-year-old actress expressed that winning the awards would not affect her attitude towards work very much.
“Whether I win or not, tomorrow I will still have to go to work … it (her wins) just makes the pressure greater,” said Rui En earnestly, before revealing that she has an early day on Monday and will head to Malaysia for a shoot very soon.
