There are show business scandals that have been engraved in ink in our memory and one of the most marked is the invented rivalry between Belinda and Daniela Luján. If you lived your childhood during the beautiful time when children’s soap operas reigned on open TV, you were surely a fan of Sidekicks to the rescue and, therefore, you realized the change of protagonist almost at the end of the transmission.
On several occasions, the reasons that led the production to make this decision have been discussed, although the most recent one came from the voice of Daniela Luján herself, who confessed in an interview with Mara Patricia Castañeda that the plot of the novel was the idea hers. The actress revealed that when she told her producer about the project she had in mind, she approved it and assured her that her leading role belonged to her.
I asked Rosy Ocampo (producer) why we didn’t do a telenovela with twins, like ‘The Prince and the Beggar’, and she told me ‘Yes, we have to do it, it’s yours’, and she stayed there in a project.
Years later, the project materialized and she was once again assured that the work was hers. However, none of this would come to pass, because, as you know, Daniela was not chosen to give life to Mariana Cantú and Silvana del Valle, but Belinda he had taken over the role, leaving her feeling disappointed.
I came home from school one day and, watching those afternoon gossip shows, Belinda was there with the scripts, giving an interview, that she was going to do the soap opera. I was about 13, 14 years old and it was like ‘I don’t understand’; I think that was my first disappointment in the artistic medium.
Finally, Daniela did manage to participate in the novel, but the media had already taken charge of inventing a story of enmity between the actresses and the rest is history. The singer also confessed that it was strange at the beginning, but she assured that she is already mentalized so that they always associate her with Belinda in that way.
In life I have spoken ill of Belinda, she seems to me a very hard-working, very intelligent, very talented woman and they wanted to make us enemies, but we don’t even know each other.
