Khanh Hien: 'My mother-in-law urged me to get married the first time she met me'

"Ms. Vinh" of "I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass" said that she and her mother-in-law have very compatible personalities. During their first meeting, she urged her son to ask Khanh Hien to marry her.

After nearly 2 years of dating, Khanh Hien and her boyfriend James Ngo decided to get married at the end of November. They are in the process of preparing for the wedding. In the past few days, the couple has been to Da Lat and some places in Ho Chi Minh City to take wedding photos, capturing beautiful moments before getting married.

We met on the set of Taxi, what's your name?

Talking about her relationship with the Vietnamese-American cinematographer, Khanh Hien said she and James Ngo met at a brand advertising shoot in 2012.

At their first meeting, they had feelings for each other but only texted each other as friends. After a while, after he returned to the US and Vietnam in 2014, they reconnected. They started to meet outside and developed feelings.

At this time, James was in charge of the image of the movie Taxi, what's your name?, and Khanh Hien was an actress. The fact that they both worked on the set for many months in a row promoted the development of their feelings. After Taxi, what's your name? was completed, they officially entered a serious relationship, making it public to friends and the media.

Khanh Hien said that among the people she loves, James understands her the most. She and her boyfriend have telepathy, just by looking into each other's eyes and gestures, they can understand what the other person is thinking and wanting.

Getting married at the age of 25, Khanh Hien was considered to have gotten married early, many viewers expressed regret for her budding career. However, "sister Vinh" of I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass has the opposite opinion. She thinks that 25 years old is the right age to get married. Both she and her fiancé want to settle down to develop their careers. Moreover, Khanh Hien cherishes her feelings and wants to maintain her relationship with her fiancé for life.

“Fate came so I accepted it. When I am with James, I feel peaceful and comfortable. He is my other half. He understands me in every thought. So I don't need to look far when happiness is right next to me. James is very delicate, he never asked about my past. He quietly learned about me through relatives. Partly because we understand each other's family background, we can easily sympathize when we love each other,” the beauty said about her boyfriend.

boyfriend not rich

Born into a poor family, Khanh Hien had to work from the age of 13 and became the family's breadwinner at the age of 15. She has worked in many jobs such as hairdressing, coffee shop waitress, PR, sales... to earn a living and help her family's finances. Up to now, Khanh Hien can rest assured about her mother and siblings.

Khanh Hien shared that she feels happy to have fulfilled her responsibilities to her family over the past 10 years. When she has her own family, she will not have much time to take care of her mother and siblings like before, but will only help a little. Therefore, she is looking for a job for her mother, and will help her with all her might in raising her two siblings (in grade 11 and grade 6).

Although her family situation is difficult, Khanh Hien is self-respecting enough not to accept help from her boyfriend. The two were financially separate during their relationship. Many people think that the 25-year-old beauty is lucky that her boyfriend has the financial ability to support her family. However, "Sister Vinh" of I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass denies this. When her boyfriend offered to help, she refused because she did not want him to be more burdened.

She confided that her boyfriend is not a rich man. His job as a cameraman and photographer brings him a stable income but cannot make him rich. “I have to take care of my mother and siblings, and so does he. His mother and brother in the US need his support. Maybe that’s why we have empathy for each other,” she said.

Never been to America to meet mother-in-law

Khanh Hien has not had the opportunity to meet James' relatives in the US. The two families met mainly in Vietnam when James' mother and brother returned to Vietnam for Tet. She said that on their first meeting, his mother urged her son to ask Khanh Hien to marry her.

“My mother loves me very much. We have similar personalities. Both families have a close relationship. Every time he returns to Vietnam, his mother regularly comes to my house for meals. The two mothers happily go to the market and cook together. The family atmosphere is happy and warm, so I feel very secure and want to maintain this joy forever,” she confided.

Regarding the upcoming wedding, Khanh Hien and her fiancé plan to hold parties in three locations. The party in Ho Chi Minh City will mainly be for friends and colleagues. The actress wants a cozy, intimate wedding that fits her and her husband's financial capabilities.
