A video of the showbiz newcomer&#x27;s interview was uploaded on YouTube by entertainment blogger Albert Abelido.</p><p>Esguerra, whose relationship with Nishida ended in early 2017, recalled he was at a get-together with fans when he was first asked about her new appearance.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/03/18/before-and-after-20-photos-of-mihos-stunning-transformation">Before and after: 20 photos of Miho&#x27;s stunning transformation</a></li></ul><p>&quot;I had no idea talaga. I am shocked,&quot; he said. &quot;They showed me the photo. At first I didn&#x27;t recognize her, but then, I was like, &#x27;This is Miho! Oh my gosh!&#x27; Because I never heard anything, never saw anything, so when I saw it, nagulat lang ako. But it&#x27;s good, ah.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Maganda, especially sa concert niya. Maganda siya talaga,&quot; Esguerra added, referring to Nishida&#x27;s first solo concert held last December, which also a birthday celebration.</p><p>Esguerra is aware of mixed reactions to the transformation of Nishida, who has built a loyal fan base since her 2015 &quot;Pinoy Big Brother&quot; win, but he pointed out what matters is how the actress feels about her self-image.</p><p>&quot;Yes, people will bash, say things or whatever, pero if she&#x27;s happy at the end of the day, you have to be happy for the person. So I&#x27;m happy for her,&quot; he said.</p><p>Esguerra told Nishida similarly when she brought up her plans of going under the knife during their relationship.</p><p>&quot;She talked about it, that she might do something like that. I just told her na, &#x27;For me, I don&#x27;t care for that. If you do or you don&#x27;t, it doesn&#x27;t matter to me,&#x27;&quot; he recalled.</p><p>Asked if they have managed to be on speaking terms again, nearly a year after their breakup, Esguerra answered: &quot;No. Mahirap kasi. I know a lot of people will say, &#x27;Wow, how can you not stay friends or can you not still talk?&#x27; Every relationship is different.</p><p>&quot;We were really close, we were very close, as close as any two people can be. We got into showbiz together. We did it together. When we broke up, it&#x27;s not easy to move on. We had to take different paths.&quot;</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/-kA8tlkEQc/" data-instgrm-version="8" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:8px"><div style="background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:50.0% 0;text-align:center;width:100%"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);display:block;height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px"> </div></div><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/-kA8tlkEQc/" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Miho Nishida (@real.miho_nishida)</a> on <time dateTime="2015-11-26T21:14:24+00:00" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px">Nov 26, 2015 at 1:14pm PST</time></p></div></blockquote><div><script async="" defer="" src="https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Esguerra mused he and Nishida will be able to communicate again &quot;when the timing is right.&quot;</p><p>He explained: &quot;I think it&#x27;s one of those things na you don&#x27;t push it, you don&#x27;t actively seek for it.
