The movie "Huong Phu Sa" (broadcast in 2006) is not only because of the Southern-style story, but also because the young cast of those days has gone through many turning points in life. When the cinema lights are off, each person chooses a different way of life, with marriage and family becoming the biggest focus.
Kim Hien: Living in a foreign land, divorce
In "Huong Phu Sa", Kim Hien plays Ut Rang - an emotional character. In real life, her life also went through many ups and downs. After past marital upheavals, Kim Hien decided to move to the US to settle down with her husband and children. However, in early 2026, she confirmed her divorce from her overseas Vietnamese husband - businessman Andy Le.
Currently, the actress is almost no longer participating in artistic activities, spending all her time taking care of her private life. Occasionally, Kim Hien shares simple everyday moments, showing a quiet, discreet but stable life. For her, happiness no longer lies in fame, but in spiritual fulfillment.
Tang Thanh Ha: Withdrawing from glory, choosing a fulfilling life
Having made a deep impression with the role of Ut Nho, Tang Thanh Ha is the name with the clearest change in life direction. After a period of resounding success in her acting career, she decided to marry businessman Louis Nguyen and almost completely withdrew from showbiz.
Currently, Tang Thanh Ha focuses on her small family while participating in managing and developing business activities. On social networks, the actress rarely shares about her career, instead there is a simple everyday image, cooking, taking care of children. This choice makes her a role model for an artist willing to give up the stage lights in exchange for long-term peace.
Truong Minh Quoc Thai: Family as a fulcrum for the profession
Unlike the two female lead actresses, Truong Minh Quoc Thai - the male lead in the film - still persistently pursues his acting career. However, behind the image of an artist diligently working in the film set is a rather discreet family life.
The actor rarely shares private matters, but once said that family is the biggest support that helps him maintain balance in the profession. In middle age, Truong Minh Quoc Thai chooses a moderate lifestyle, spending time with loved ones in parallel with regular artistic activities.
He is still a familiar face on television, recently, he starred in the movie "Mother of the Sea".
Minh Thu: Prioritizing the role of mother
Minh Thu used to be a familiar face on the small screen in the early 2000s. After getting married and having children, she chose to live in the US. Currently, Minh Thu rarely appears in public, focusing on the life of a single mother and her own work.
The decision to leave the film made many viewers regretful, but for Minh Thu, it was a necessary choice to protect the peace of her family.
Mai Phuong: A short, loving life
Mai Phuong does not have much screen time in "Huong Phu Sa" but is a face loved by audiences. Her life is associated with many difficulties, especially the journey of being a single mother and fighting illness.
Mai Phuong's passing at the age of 35 left many regrets, but the image of a strong woman, living fully for her children, is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the public.
