A nightmare scene disguised as fiction became the most raw moment in the life of Daniela Castrowho shared in a conversation without filters one of the darkest and least known episodes of his career.
The actress, remembered for her role in Cañaveral of passionsHe revealed that during the recording of that soap opera he lived an attempt to kidnap his life. The situation was as brutal as disconcerting.
“They gave me a bestial calm,” he released in a firm voice, in a statement that freezes the blood, a few days after premiering his new soap opera by Azteca “Captive for love”.
Everything happened after a work day on Televisa. Daniela was characterized as her character towards a meeting with a producer in the Altavista Pavilion. He was accompanied by his driver, when an armed man intercepted the vehicle. “The guy pointed to the driver and said: ‘You don’t get closer because I threw it out,’ and her hand was trembling,” he said.
What seemed like a novel scene became a borderline experience. When getting out of the car, Castro tried to get out of the aggressor. “I released him and started running around a car … people applauded from the stairs of the mall, they thought we were recording,” he recalled with bitter irony. No one intervened.
-At that time, the thin line between the show and real life was completely broken. “Three guys almost gathered me, and I said ‘dead, but they don’t climb me.’ I got between a car, I ran through the sidewalk, and I just listened to the shots … I felt a body on me, an angel, a beloved man,” he described, visibly moved.
The dress he wore as part of his character was shattered. “I almost stayed in panties,” he confessed among nerve laughs to Jorge ‘El Burro’ Van Rankin, like the one who tries to exorcise trauma through humor.
While the actor, without being able to hide his astonishment, reacted with a mixture of disbelief and admiration. “Why didn’t I?” He joked. But the conversation did not stay in drama. Castro remembered how that event marked his sentimental life. “I woke up in the hospital, and the only call they allowed was Gustavo,” he said, referring to Gustavo Díaz Ordaz Borja, grandson of the Mexican former president.
That call was the beginning of a relationship that, although brief, left its mark. “We were boyfriends for a year and six months,” Castro said. The most curious detail: the then president of Televisa, Emilio Azcárraga, was the one who ordered his immediate transfer to the hospital after the attack.
Daniela had never narrated this moment. It is not one more anecdote in the world of entertainment, but a testimony that mixes human vulnerability with the absurdity of fame. Because while she ran for her life, wrapped in a broken dress and in the middle of chaos, others applauded believing that it was part of the show.
This story not only naked a violent reality, also portrays the confusion between the actress and the character, between television drama and tangible horror. An moment in which fiction was not enough to protect it and real life, without script or director, left it to the edge of the abyss.
