Actress Romina Poza finds significant inspiration in her family, especially her younger brother Sebastián, who has encouraged her acting aspirations. Sebastián, also an actor currently appearing in 'El renacer de la Luna,' instilled in Romina the drive and decisiveness needed to pursue her career.

I love my brother, I am proud of him. He is a great inspiration for me to become the actress I want to be, because despite being younger, he was the first to say: ‘I will be an actor and I will do it well.’

— Romina PozaOn her brother Sebastián's influence on her career.

"I love my brother, I am proud of him. He is a great inspiration for me to become the actress I want to be, because despite being younger, he was the first to say: 'I will be an actor and I will do it well,'" Poza shared.

While acknowledging her mother's guidance and the influence of her stepfather, Eduardo Santamarina, Romina understands the need to forge her own path. Her mother has advised her to be respectful, punctual, and well-prepared, but Romina knows she must navigate the profession's challenges independently.

My mom has told me to be respectful, to arrive on time, well-studied, to read my scripts, to repeat them twice, but these are also guidelines where one can fail.

Poza is now taking on a major role in 'Luz de mis noches,' a remake of the 2003 Mexican telenovela 'Mariana de la noche.' She highlighted the importance of chemistry readings with her co-star, José Pablo Minor, describing the process as a crucial dynamic for establishing on-screen connection beyond script readings.

In the second reading, when I saw José Pablo, it was very beautiful. These chemistry test dynamics are also a casting... They are difficult and tough, they force you to bring out your best.

"In the second reading, when I saw José Pablo, it was very beautiful. These chemistry test dynamics are also a casting... They are difficult and tough, they force you to bring out your best," Poza stated. Minor echoed the sentiment of on-screen chemistry but stressed the importance of maintaining professional boundaries, noting that both actors have partners and respect each other's personal lives.

Each one has their partner. It's fiction and first and foremost there is respect for the person and we have it very clear.
