At the peak of her career, versatile actress VA savored everything she had - fame, money, endorsements, movies, colorful lovelife, and legions of fans who were willing to defend her at all costs. As age caught up with her, she succumbed to the domestic life and raised her children. Once in a while, she would appear on television which was welcomed by her fans and the curious public. However, the downtrend in local cinema and many changes in her personal life affected her career. Eventually, VA went into hiatus, and the public thought she was going the way of great Hollywood legends like a Garbo.

But that wasn't so, her rare appearances were really the result of the low ratings of her tv and movie projects, bad habits, and domestic problems. VA has been beset with all sorts of rumors, the most recent one tested her character because the issue raised public awareness against her. Still, she was VA, and the industry opened its doors for her.

As for the public, the reaction to her projects is quite ambivalent. While her recent movie broke box office records, her next one was a disappoinment at the tills.

At one point, the networks gambled on her. She had good materials but the public did not bite and the ratings suffered. Soon, rumors that she was being difficult to work with were circulating. And now with a career that is not as bankable and hounded by negative image, VA is said to be doing the rounds of the networks asking for projects to at least help pay her bills. Some networks could not afford the risk and turned down feelers from her camp. Finally, she was down to the last network. VA allegedly said that a lower talent fee would not matter as long as she has work. The network gave in and offered her a project on one condition: if she gets difficult again during tapings, her character will be immediately vanished.

Will this new project pave the way for VA to reclaim her lost glory? Will the public give her a second chance? Very soon, we will know the answers.
