Sonija Kwok will marry her choreographer Zhu Shao Jie

Rumors said Sonija Kwok's action choreographer boyfriend took special care of her, that's how he touched her heart. Then later rumors said the couple is rushing marriage in April because Sonija is pregnant. But none of them are true. Here we have the actress telling the real story herself. One thing we sure is, it's all fated.

It was reported Sonija and her boyfriend Zhu Shaojie's close interaction on the filming set of Mainland drama "Palace" made them become lovers, but actually they weren't too close at work. Sonija's role didn't require that much action scenes; even if she needed assistance, it was Zhu's assistant choreographer who helped out. So how did they really get to know each other?

"A few days before we were done filming, someone said he would introduce a guy to me," said Sonija. "I joked, 'Okay! Then ask whether he dares to hold my hand!' Since I'm not young anymore, and has some fame, not many people dared to pursue me."

Sonija didn't know the guy she was being introduced to will become her Mr. Right. Although she was introduced to some people the past years, but none were right matches, which made her well-prepared to become a "remaining woman." But this changed when she met Zhu. She dined with him another day and it was quite embarrassing start.

"We didn't know what to say. We said goodbye after the dinner."

Two days after their first dinner together, Sonija had to return to Hong Kong to film a new drama. Zhu was there at the airport and brought her 100 red roses. Who isn't touched by 100 red roses? Because she couldn't bring the flower bouquet to the plane, she only took one flower out. This was when they decided to give it a try.

However, they were experiencing a distant relationship; she was in Hong Kong and he was in other places. Their only communication was via phone, text messages, and Skype. Although it was like that for more than 3 months, but the relationship still went well.

"We had good communications. It felt right. I like how he is just like me, like to stay at home. Plus we haven't date for several years, and have been waiting for a right match, so we hit it off quickly."

After filming new drama "抉擇男女", Sonija finally got to enjoy being in love. She is currently on a vacation with Zhu and even decided to become Mrs. Zhu at the end of the year.

"I went to Mainland and met his family. That day he knelt down with a diamond ring and proposed. I was very moved and dropped tears. He is simple, practical, good to his family, and hardworking. I feel very comfortable loving him. I can say what I want to him. This is the simple happiness."

Sonija is planning out her wedding now engaged to Zhu,. It was originally set to be on April, but she doesn't want to prove the media really guessed it right, so she moves it to at the end of this year.

"We would invite close friends and relatives to our wedding. I don't want to make it like a show. Then we would return to Mainland and have dinner with his family."

Sonija will continue her career as an actress. As for having kids, it's a must to the 36-year-old.

"My mom always urges me to have kids. My fiance loves kids, too," she said sweetly. "So it's hard to not right?"

The couple seem to be fated to be together---they actually met each other already in 2000. Sonija was filming "A Step Into the Past" with Louis Koo and Zhu was the stunt double at that time. They even took a photo together as a group. Who knew they would meet again and even decide to be together?

Sonjia Kwok and Michael Miu in series Men and Women Chooses Residence

Sonjia Kwok and Michael Miu are recently playing as a married couple in TVB new series Men and Women Chooses Residence. It's been two months since they started shooting and rumors started saying that Sonjia have been letting out the love for Michael. Outside of the series, the two are holding hands and dating, forcing Michael's wife Jamie Chik to always have to visit the set to check on them.

Michael sends out people to investigate

Michael and Sonjia were both shooting in different locations yesterday, Sonjia was shooting for a scene in the evening with Linda Chung in Mong Kok, while Michael went back to Tseung Kwan O TVB City to shoot in the studio. As for stirring up rumors again, Sonjia said with a sigh: "I am not responding, the news is so fake, I don't want to help promote their magazine story, I have no comment." Michael did not avoid to respond: "Gun Metal Grey's Team A needs to go out to investigate, find some forensic evidence too...haha! Just treat it as free promotion, just for laughs." Sonjia saw the response and instantly said: "Exactly, as long as everyone knows what's going on, I still have to marry!"

Used to seeing such 'storms' Michael was completely unaffected by the rumors. Yesterday he continued to have a heartwarming time with his wife Jamie, he said over the phone: "Jamie isn't mad, actually she's more worried about affecting Sonjia. We are married couple in the series, but at first my collaboration with Sonjia was very strange, she honestly told me that it is really pressuring to work with me because in the past she always had negative rumors with her male co-stars. So usually she would not dare to go near me. I told her not to worry, usually when we are working I always tell Jamie to comr join us for our meals, to make Sonjia feel more comfortable."

Jamie Chik helps out on the explanation

Besides Michael was his wife Jamie, she helped out and said over the phone: "I knew Sonjia for over 10 years. When she first entered the industry, she was a spokesperson for an eye glasses store, I felt that this girl was very gentle and speaks quietly. It's a pity that she's always getting negative news." Jamie then teased Michael in a 'dai sei' manner that he likes to hold people's hands. She joked: "He even holds the hair combing lady. When I'm shooting a series and I hold the leading actor's hand, should Michael be so pissed off like a jumping live shrimp?"

Sonjia Kwok in TVB series Men & Women Chooses Residence

TVB new series Men & Women Chooses Residence held it's blessing ceremony yesterday. The cast includes Sonjia Kwok, Michael Miu, Him Law, Michael Tse and Ron Ng. In the series, Sonjia starts out playing a "little housewife", and will only be putting on light make-up. She said: "So I have to do masks every night, but filming this time is pretty comfortable and relaxed. Just spend 15 minutes on make-up. (Will have hugs and kisses wth Michael Miu in the series?) We play a married couple of over 10 years, Michael said that sentimental scenes are the main focus, giving off a feeling of love from the heart. The love won't be too apparent. (Did Michael do this because he wanted to avoid getting his ear twisted by his wife Jamie Chik?) Of course not, their love is golden."

This series is about home ownership issues. In reality, Him is planning to become a homeowner next year, he said: "Next year I plan to buy a home, but I won't allow myself have too much of a burden, so my planned budget is around HK$4 million, just for investment and will rent it out."

About the TV King battle this year, Michael Miu expressed: "I'm not in on the battle, this year's TV King is either Moses or Wayne, what am I going to fight for? I feel that this year the hot favourite is Moses and the second favourite is Wayne. The 'black horse' is Felix Wong. In Gun Metal Grey, he performed quite well." Michael felt that No Regrets is having good momentum and is related to last year's popularity. This is a normal situation.

Also, yesterday Moses learned that Michael supports him, he laughed: "Another vote for me. I hope everyone will give me a vote. (Have confidence?) Nope, just another person votin for me gives me confidence! (Michael felt that your oppenents are Wayne and Felix?) Yes, Felix is a very good actor. (Lately you have been accepting jobs like crazy, trying to boost the popularity to win?) Nothing special, just before I was too busy filming series, so now I want to accept more jobs while I have some time before I start the new series. I also hope to develop in more areas."

Deric Wan Zhao Lun dating back with Sonjia Kwok

The other day, Deric Wan expressed the unforgettable "cuteness" or "her". It was said that he's referring to ex-lover Sonjia Kwok. Both Sonjia and Deric expressed that the they are troubled by the reports, but have different responses and didn't match up. Sonjia said that within a year there are 1 or 2 phone calls between them, while Deric said they do not keep in touch, implying that "someone' is lying.

Sonjia and Deric collaborated in 2002 in TVB series "The Legend of Love" and started the "pineapple bun love". Unfortunately it ended in 2 years. In one report, it said that Deric often calls her, while another report said that he recently came back to Hong Kong and brought a Mercedes Benz.

"She" is the deceased actress Pan Xingyi

Currently in Mainland shooting for an advertisement, Deric accepted the long distance call from reporters. He admitted that he purchased two Mercedes Benz in Hong Kong to encourage himself, while the other is a gift to his Hong Kong girlfriend Winnie. Regarding to the getting back with Sonjia reports, he denied: "I haven't kept in touch with her in the last few years. (Sonjia said that you always call her?) Someone is lying. (Are you two still friends?) We can be friends, but I really haven't kept in touch with her. (Your blog entry started this rumor?) I was definitely not talking about her, I'm talking about Pan Xingyi (Mainland actress), she got into an accident and passed away. She is an artist that my management company released. I was just thinking about her and felt emotional, but someone tried to twist the story. Lately after the Qinghai Earthquake, there are already many victims that don't have anything to eat, and now someone is over here doing making up nonsense. Tell that person to stop causing trouble, or else they'll go to Hell."

Worried others would misunderstand

However, Sonjia Kwok who is preparing to head back to TVB city to shoot "Seven Days Love Isolation" accepted an interview and was very frustrated: "I never said that he 'always called me'. That is ridiculous! The stuff he wrote on his blog is from a long time ago, it's Fans who told me about it. I was worried that others would misunderstand too, I called Deric and he told me that he's not talking about me. So OK, actually we broke up and we're still friends, but we haven't met up or anything. Probably in a year, there will be 1 or 2 phone calls."

When Sonjia got back to TVB city, she was surrounded by reporters trying to interview her, she continued to respond: "He never said that he wanted to pursue me. I also never thought about getting back together with him. He has a girlfriend, but I do wish him happiness."

Yesterday Sonjia Kwok attended an event wearing a deep V shirt, while playing games she used her hands the whole time as a chest protector. Even with Roger Kwok on her back, she did not lose the protection!

Roger Kwok, Sonjia Kwok, Nancy Wu and Siu Yee attended the "D.I.E Again" promotional event at Olympian City yesterday. The organizers arranged games for the cast. When Sonjia had to piggy back Roger on her back, she was facing several camera flashes below the stages, with a Miss HK background, Sonjia did not lose her focus in protecting her chest area with her hand. Even if Roger was behind her on her back, she would brush his hand away, very protective! Meanwhile, on the other side of the stage, Him Law did not protect himself nor his partner very well! When he carried Jessie Sum, he unfortunately was bothered by Mimi Lo and Rain Lau trying to pull up his clothes, exposing his underwear! During the chaos, he accidentally grabbed a hold of Jessie's chest area!

Denied wife is pregnant

Sonjia expressed that during filming, she had interactions with the baby daily, giving her a huge sense of motherhood: "If in the future I don't have a baby of my own, I would adopt one! (It was said that you treat your mother as an assistant?) My mom loves me, I bring her to the events because she likes to come along, sometimes she would help me carry things!" She expressed that in the meantime she does not have intentions of hiring an assistant because she felt that the work hours of an assistant is too long. As for Roger, he denied that his wife Cindy Au is pregnant again: "It's fake! I'm going to wait until my son goes to school first before we consider having another one, maybe 1 or 2 more years. Just one more baby is enough!" He clarified that his wife has recently gotten very thin.

As one of the leading ladies in the series, Sonija revealed that she had to work with the baby a lot and she found it very challenging. She stated "The baby cries a lot and we can't work on longer period with the baby either. I worked with three different babies in the series, but the filming process was great, I enjoyed it. (Did you feel all maternal after filming?) Yes, I did. I have learned to be patient, and I feel being a mother is great. The baby was heavy, my arm ached after holding it for a while and now my arms are very muscular. I don't intent to have a baby yet, I can't rush since I am still single. I will let nature takes its course."
