The actress, known for her deep bond with Zahara, recounted the late star's respect and affection, highlighting the mutual support and understanding that defined their connection. "She knew if I was around, she had to have limits with how she spoke and conducted herself, and she would give me that respect as a big sister. If she found herself in any corner, she would call me, and I would be there for her."
