Known as a Gentle Woman, Sarwendah Actually Wants to Star in a Murder Thriller Film

Sarwendah is becoming more active in the acting world. After being involved in the horror-comedy film Pencari Mayat, she expressed her dream of starring in a thriller film. The former wife of Ruben Onsu admitted that she really loves the thriller genre and wants to try more challenging roles.

Sarwendah revealed that she has confidence in acting. However, she still adapts to the conditions on set. Check out the complete story of this mother of three!

"Yes, we need to have confidence if we want to do something. Actually, I am confident, yes confident. But sometimes there is that feeling of how the location will be or what happens on set, that's what sometimes makes us have to follow the conditions on set," said Sarwendah in the Tebet area, South Jakarta, Tuesday (11/2/2025).

Sarwendah revealed that she prefers films over soap operas. This is because the tight shooting schedule of soap operas can interfere with her time with her children.

"Film. Soap operas take a lot of time. I have kids to take care of. So with films, it's short time, like 5 days, but it's clear for 5 days. Soap operas are every day, and then I might have to move my house to the location," she said.   "So it seems like I can't do it like that. If it's a film or a miniseries, I think I can take it, but for soap operas, I can't do it yet," she continued.

Sarwendah's decision is closely tied to her priorities as a mother. She wants to remain present in her children's lives even while being busy with work. Although she is known for her softer roles, Sarwendah actually wants to try something different. She admitted to being interested in acting in a thriller film with a tense storyline.

"Actually, to be honest, I have a dream of acting in a thriller movie. Because I really love watching thriller films, like sudden murders that involve investigation, I really like things like that," she expressed.

However, this desire was questioned by her manager. Sarwendah's gentle face was considered less suitable for a thriller role.   "But when I talked about this with my manager, my manager was surprised, 'What will your face look like if the thriller face is supposed to be scary, this one seems not suitable,'" she said.

"But there are also those who said earlier, Mr. Director said, 'It's good, but just like this, people can't guess, suddenly it turns out this is the one who did it,'" she added.

Sarwendah's desire to act in a thriller film is not just a trial. She wants to explore characters that are different from her daily life.   "Yes, I actually want to experience things that are not possible. In films, we can portray characters and explore things that we cannot do in real life. So, if you ask me, of course, I want to try other characters," she concluded.
