Maja Salvador Latest News: ‘Legal Wife’ Actress Settles Dispute With Former Best Friend Kim Chiu, ‘It Was Really Perfect Timing’ She Says

Maja Salvador Latest News: Maja Salvador patches things up with former best friend Kim Chiu. This happened a year after their highly publicized squabble over actor Gerald Anderson. The "Legal Wife" actress initiated the move for reconciliation.

In an interview, Salvador said, "It was really just perfect timing. I didn't plan it, neither did she. I knew in my heart I had to make the first move, and I was just waiting for the right opportunity. Finally it came when we bumped into each other in the gym. I sent her a message asking if we could talk, she obliged. And it finally happened. We patched things up."

The previously embittered star says she felt relief after talking with Chiu.

"It felt really great. It was such a relief. It was as if a big block of stone had suddenly been lifted off my shoulders. The heavy burdens in my heart just vanish."

"I prayed hard for this," the young actress told the Inquirer during a press conference for her drama series. "I'm relieved that I can again walk the corridors of ABS-CBN without fear of being heckled [by Kim's supporters]."

According to the Inquirer, Salvador admitted that it would take a while for her and Kim to be friends again. "What's important is that we've taken the most important first step," she pointed out. The actress declined to go into the details of the make-up meeting, but disclosed that she was the first to reach out. "I'm glad that, in an interview, Kim confirmed that we are okay," Salvador described the peace she was now enjoying.

In "The Legal Wife" series Salvador plays the mistress of Adrian de Villa, Jericho Rosales' character and at the same time Monica's best friend. Monica happened to be Adrian's wife played by Angel Locsin.

Salvador said, "I've embraced my character. I know that what she is doing is wrong but I understand her, and sometimes pity her. Monica is her best friend and she loves her. That's why she struggles with her feelings for Adrian."

 "All Nicole wants is to feel appreciated, especially by her father (played by Mark Gil). Her ex-boyfriend Max (JC de Vera) betrayed her. She feels confused, unloved and jealous of Monica," she added.

"I spoke with a lot of women in the same situation as Nicole's. I feel sad for them because they make do with the limited time that their lovers give them. They cannot demand for more. There is really no specific reason. It's usually because he or she feels insecure. To avoid this, a couple should make God the center of the relationship," the actress commented when asked if she has a "model" for her character.

When asked if she'll ever find herself as a mistress in real life, she said, "I don't want to. I could never do that. But I can also understand how some women unintentionally end up being mistresses. But for me, I would never be comfortable with that."
