Gela Atayde received negative reactions due to this acting stint
Kapamilya actress Gela Atayde was criticized for her acting in this project as netizens commented that the “extra” delivered much better than what she did.
Gela belongs to a prominent entertainment family. She is the youngest daughter of veteran screen actress Sylvia Sanchez, who has received many acting awards, and businessman Art Atayde.
Prior to her rise, Gela’s older brother Arjo Atayde had been receiving praise for his acting caliber. Then, her older sister, Ria Atayde, had also done several acting stints before taking a break when she got pregnant.
Gela Atayde is now being managed by Star Magic, the talent management company of ABS-CBN. She is being recognized as a “New Gen Dance Champ.” The actress-dancer has been receiving praise for her dancing skills.
However, when it comes to her acting, several netizens expressed negative reactions. A Redditor shared under PinoyCelebs a clip from Gela’s acting stint in the new series Someone, Someday featuring Asia’s Superstar Kathryn Bernardo, actor-singer James Reid, and Her Majesty Maja Salvador.
In the clip, Gela’s scene was with a male “extra”. The short video received negative comments. Some netizens pointed out that just because of “nepotism,” Gela was able to get the opportunity.
For some netizens, it was a pity that she did not learn from her veteran actress mother and award-winning actor brother. Some netizens also pointed out that the extra’s acting overpowered Gela Atayde. There were netizens who mentioned actor Zaijian Jaranilla, who was known as a commendable child star when he was young. Gela is now being linked to Zaijian, as there were instances when the actor was seen spending time with the actress and her family. Here are some comments.
