Los Angeles, May 4 (IANS) Actress Salma Hayek has shed light on the greatest achievement in her life, and has shared that watching her children grow up and become independent is something that makes her really proud.
The 58-year-old actress has raised 18-year-old daughter Valentina with her husband, Kering CEO Francois-Henri Pinault, as well as being a stepmother to her spouse's three children, Francois, Mathilde and Augustin, from previous relationships, reports ‘Female First UK’.
Francois and Mathilde's mother is Pinault's first wife Dorothee Lepere, while Augustin's mother is supermodel Linda Evangelista.
As per ‘Female First UK’, Salma insists seeing them all grow into fine young adults has made the decisions in her career, which saw her turn down many roles to ensure she was a present parent, to make her family her "priority" completely worthwhile.
Speaking to Italian publication IO Donna, she said, "All my children, not just Valentina, now they are all independent and I am happy about it. I have invested a lot of time in it. My family has always been a priority. You can see it in my career, in the last 18 years I have only chosen roles shot mostly in the summer and in Europe. I did not have to sacrifice anything, but only organise myself better”.
Salma now has more time for work now her daughter is 18 and she is as motivated as ever to continue to create new shows and films for Latin audiences via her own independent production company Ventanarosa, which provided viewers with hit series 'Ugly Betty'.
She said, "I'm aware there is still so much to do. The certainty that every story I tell, every project I realise, can make a difference for someone else. I'm not interested in letting others know what I do for others, I am interested in just doing it. Change does not need advertising, it needs action. This has always guided me in life. I basically work day and night”.
