Bangkok: Veteran actress Duangdao Jarujinda, at the age of 74, is set to star in an upcoming drama titled "Tham Rak Tee Thee Luem." In a recent reflection on her life, Duangdao expressed immense joy and excitement about her work, sharing anecdotes about her eagerness to get back on set-so much so that she once went to the wrong set on the wrong day due to her anticipation.
According to Thai News Agency, Duangdao's passion for acting remains undiminished. She delights in reciting scripts and is committed to maintaining her health and honing her craft to ensure she is never a burden on set. Her love for acting is evident as she insists on continuing her career until she is no longer wanted in the industry.
Duangdao also divulged her fondness for driving herself, even though she has a driver. She finds driving to be a meditative practice, a time for reciting mantras and enjoying music. Before each drive, she engages in a prayer for protection, underscoring the unpredictability of life.
In addition to her acting career, Duangdao has ventured into online selling, finding joy in this new endeavor. She explains that live-selling not only brings her happiness but also serves as a mental exercise, allowing her to interact with people and keep her cognitive skills sharp. This passion for live-selling was inspired by her background in acting, hosting, and voice acting.
Duangdao humorously shared an instance where her son noticed a significant increase in audience interaction when she joined his livestream. Her son has been successfully livestreaming his own brand, gaining valuable experience and income over the past year.
Furthermore, Duangdao shared her admiration for the relationship between Best Rakwanee and Big, the village headman of Finland. Initially, she joined a livestream to support her own brand but was pleasantly surprised by the couple's affectionate dynamic. She supports their relationship, whether it evolves into romance or remains a solid friendship.
Lastly, Duangdao spoke about her eldest son, Tum Wichaya's ordination last October. He entered monkhood for eight days to study Dharma, which she viewed as a positive experience that enhanced his mindfulness and self-awareness. As a supportive mother, Duangdao has been by his side through life's challenges, cherishing the growth and resilience they have cultivated together.
