JAKARTA - Having just officially become Maxime Bouttier's wife, actress Luna Maya isn't relaxing.
In fact, she's already faced with a busy work schedule and has decided to postpone her plans to have children for crucial reasons.
Luna revealed that she will immediately begin preparing for two film projects by the end of the year, which has forced her to postpone her pregnancy.
"Basically, when I return from my honeymoon tomorrow, I'm already preparing for a film, probably two films by the end of the year," said Luna Maya in South Jakarta on Wednesday, July 30.
She made the decision to postpone her pregnancy after careful consideration. Luna admitted she didn't want to be involved in a filming situation while pregnant.
She was worried about the potential risks, considering her age.
"The reason I haven't decided yet is because I don't want to be involved in a filming situation while pregnant. I'm afraid something will happen, because many people will say, 'You're not young anymore, something will happen,'" she continued.
"So, what I meant was that I wanted to be truly prepared and ready, so I wasn't on the set during that time (pregnancy)," she emphasized.
"On set, you spend hours, maybe 12 hours or more, and the scenes can be varied, including jumping into rivers and all sorts of things. That could be dangerous for me and the fetus," Luna Maya explained.
She had also discussed this with her husband, Maxime. They agreed to finish their existing work contracts first.
"So I told Max, 'Max, I'll finish this (work) first. We don't have a long contract like a film anymore, let's find some comfortable time.' At that moment, I could really rest and focus on that (the pregnancy program)," she continued.
Besides work and health reasons, Luna also felt that she and Maxime still wanted to enjoy their time together as a married couple. She wasn't concerned about external pressure.
"I feel like we both still want to date and adapt as husband and wife. Once that's established, it can't be reinstated because we're not ready. My principle is not to listen to what people say," said Luna Maya.
"Well, I mean, if I hear people say, 'I'm too old (to get pregnant),' and if I hear people say, 'I've been married for a long time,' that's the same thing," she continued.
Ultimately, Luna emphasized that the decision to have children is entirely hers.
"But right now, it's 'when are you going to have kids?' Well, I feel like I have my own time. It's my body, my time, so when you're ready, you'll know. You'll be told, like Aurelie Moeremans," she concluded.
