Sharon Cuneta flew to the US for her concert tour with Gabby Concepcion
Megastar Sharon Cuneta shares the story about her flight seatmate who did not recognize her.
Sharon is one of the most popular celebrities in the Philippine entertainment industry. She is tagged as the Megastar for her achievements as an actress. She also released albums and popularized some of the classic songs now.
However, Sharon acknowledged the fact that not everyone knows her, just like what happened on her recent flight to the United States of America for her Dear Heart concert tour with Gabby Concepcion.
In a recent Instagram post, Sharon Cuneta shared a story about her seatmate. This post included the post from the daughter of Sharon’s seatmate, Dr. Lilia Luna.
The actress-singer enthusiastically talked to her seatmate and even offered her help if she needed something. At first, the doctor did not know who her seatmate was. It was the flight attendant who told her that it was the Megastar.
Sharon said in the caption of her post that she does not introduce herself as a celebrity to people she meets.
“It was a pleasure flying beside her! Yes, from the time I sat down, I said “Ma’am, if I may help you with anything po, please just let me know ” It is the way my parents raised me. I am very mindful and respectful of ANYONE I come across,” Sharon shared.
The actress-singer also said that she had no plan of posting about this but the doctor’s first shared a public post about what happened and, this was just sent by one of her fans.
Sharon shared that when she woke up and the doctor went back to the seat beside her that was the time when Dr. Lilia knew about her status in showbiz. “When she walked back, she greeted me with a cheerful “Good Morning!” Afterwhich she immediately said “You know, I have to apologize to you! I didn’t know I was seated beside the ‘great’ (her word not mine!☺️) Sharon Cuneta!” she said.
The Megastar said that she never expected that all Filipinos will recognize as she knows the fact that some Filipinos are not showbiz enthusiasts while some lived abroad for a long time.
Then, Sharon said that she wished that when she reached the age of 87, she will still be as sharp as Dr. Luna. The actress added that she would happily push the doctor’s cart next time.
