Kapuso actress Arra San Agustin said she’s happy she chose show business over studying medicine.
“Mas magiging masaya ako sa pinili ko kesa mag-doktor kapag sinasabi sa akin ng mga tao na bakit hindi ko ituloy ang medicine,” the actress said in an interview with PEP.ph.
San Agustin graduated with a degree in psychology at De La Salle University before joining the sixth season of StarStruck in 2015.
Explaining why she chose the entertainment industry over her studies, she said: “Kung ipipilit ko, at the end of the day, baka mag-back out ako dahil hindi na ako masaya.”
Nonetheless, she shared that her degree helped a lot in her role on GMA Network’s drama series “My Special Tatay.” Her character, Carol, is the best friend of lead actor Ken Chan’s character, Boyet, who has a mild intellectual disability in the drama.
Aside from “My Special Tatay,” San Agustin also participated in series “Encantadia,” “The Cure” and “Kambal Karibal.”/ac
