"Fun fact: I cried so hard when I didn't get cast as Marimar. FYI, I was so young and I didn't even audition. Same with 'Dyesebel,' but you get it," she said in a now-expired Instagram Story.

Emphasizing how manifestations become a reality, she added: "And now here I am, living that 'Marimar' and 'Dyesebel' and 'Marina' life in real life."
