During the media conference of her comeback teleserye, Lumuhod Ka Sa Lupa, Sarah responded to a question about revenge. The question was, “Is it okay for you to seek revenge against someone who hurt you deeply or badly? Or bahala na?”
In the most graceful manner, Sarah said that she believes in the idea of karma. Adding that peace matters a lot more to her than getting back at someone who has done something bad to her.
“I believe in karma. For me, personally, there’s nothing more expensive than peace. We can’t get peace if we seek revenge,” Sarah noted.
She continued by reminding everyone there’s satisfaction in life that you cannot achieve if you aim for revenge. “There’s power in prayer… There’s a certain feeling na hindi mo makukuha by protecting your peace. And again you don’t get that by seeking revenge,” she expressed.
Sarah Lahbati’s past relationship
Sarah has recently been making headlines for her past relationship with her estranged husband Richard Gutierrez. They have been a couple longer than some reels-to-real-life couples, which is why the news of their separation shocked netizens.
The intrigue grew stronger as both of their families chimed in regarding the rumors, starting with Richard’s mother, Annabelle Rama. In December 2023, she did a bombshell interview that included fiery comments against Sarah. Anabelle was the first to break her silence surrounding Richard and Sarah’s then-rumored split.
It was Annabelle who confirmed to the public that the once-lovestruck couple were not living together anymore. By her remarks, people could tell that there was bad blood between her and Sarah at the time.
“Nakikita mo naman, hindi mo na kailangang magsalita pa. Nakikita mo na yan. Si Richard trabaho nang trabaho, ‘yung isa nagwawaldas ng pera. ‘Yun lang ang masasabi ko diyan,” she strongly said.
With that interview, the rumors surrounding Richard and Sarah’s marriage catapulted into a series of interviews by Annabelle and some cryptic posts from Sarah’s mother, Esther Lahbati.
Sarah has not said anything foul or offensive against the Gutierrez family or Richard. She was silent about it all, as she continued to move forward with her life. Amid everything, she launched a new business called Casa Selma, attended back-to-back brand events here and abroad, and also filmed for her comeback teleserye.
