During an interview with Publimetro to commemorate the premiere of the telenovela 'Cautiva por Amor' on Azteca Uno, actress Daniela Castro revealed that she was a victim of a kidnapping attempt while filming 'Cañaveral de Pasiones' in 1996. The actress described this episode as a trauma from which she still has not fully recovered, mentioning that it generated a shock that disturbs her to this day.
In the midst of filming the telenovela, she suffered this episode that marked her deeply. "It was very traumatic and still is because when they came up from behind... now no one can come up from behind because it’s like a shock for me. Thanks to it, I am talking to you right now," said the actress known for her roles in dramas such as 'Me declaro culpable' and 'Lo que la vida me robó'.
In addition to the kidnapping attempt, years later, Daniela Castro was also robbed and threatened with a gun. Despite taking precautions to protect herself and her daughters, the actress attributes her greatest protection to her faith in God. The artist assures that every time she leaves her home, she entrusts herself to the divine to return safe and sound.
The story arises from this dark episode, reflecting a harsh reality that is addressed in the story of 'Cautiva por Amor'. This production represents TV Azteca's return to creating original content and marks Castro's return to melodramas after a 5-year hiatus. The plot of the telenovela revolves around the kidnapping and abuse of a woman played by Litzy at the hands of a politician, portrayed by Plutarco Haza, and his wife, a role played by Daniela Castro.
One of the peculiarities of this project is the participation of Danka Castro, Daniela's daughter, in a leading young role. The actress expressed her enthusiasm for sharing this project with her daughter, stating it is a wonderful experience for both in fiction. Castro highlighted that, despite having worked with her daughters previously, this opportunity to coincide in mother-daughter roles presents them with a new and enriching challenge.
Finally, Daniela Castro appeared nervous yet excited for her debut on TV Azteca with 'Cautiva por Amor'. She recognized this project as a great challenge and an honor, being part of the revitalization of telenovelas on the television network. The actress stated that making the decision to join this project was not easy, but she accepted it as a challenge and a new opportunity within the current landscape of the television industry.
