I strive to keep it classy and maintain a forward momentum.”
Furthermore, Gomez revealed how she managed to nail the role she played in the telenovella, ‘Wura’.

On the success of her role in ‘Wura’, Gomez added, “I did not think people were going to like it that much. It is catching on like wildfire, and it is amazing. The love has been so unreal.”
