"Opo [gusto ko mag-artista]. Si Bimby [gust ko maka-work] tapos ‘yung mga iba pa rin pong mga artista." Carmella shared that she looks up to Kathryn Bernardo as an actress and wants to follow in her footsteps. "[Idol ko po] si ate Kathryn po kasi po magaling po siyang umarte at umiyak."
Asked if her mom Karla Estrada approves of her dream of joining showbiz, Carmella revealed, "Basta raw po huwag papbabayaaan ‘yung pag-aaral ko po." Carmella was spotted in recent Kris TV episodes with her mom. Kris even tagged Carmella and Bimby as "the next KathNiel”.
However, Daniel Padilla has been vocal in his recent interviews about his disapproval of his sister joining showbiz as early as now. "Hindi pa (pwede). Pag trenta na siya. Gusto ko tsaka na siya mag-artista ‘pag matured na si Carmella. Ayoko ng hindi pa siya nagma-mature. Gusto ko matured na siya tapos saka na siya papasok sa industriya,” he said.
