Latest denial confirms Nadech and Yaya more than "siblings"

But the case of Nadech Kugimiya and Urassaya “Yaya” Sperbund remains a particularly hard one to crack even after they’ve been so obviously close for year – intimately so, in fact.
The two stars continue to insist their feelings for one another are akin to those of a “brother and sister”. Yeah, right.
Yes, they’ve been the hottest onscreen couple in show business ever since their mutual breakthrough in the 2010 TV soap “Duang Jai Akkanee”. A riot would probably break out if they ever decided to appear in separate series.
They’re always seen together. They always sit together at awards shows. They do fashion shoots together. They hang out together in their free time. And they never miss each other’s birthdays. They’re awfully close for a brother and sister.
Now there’s an Instagram photo kicking around that’s caused uproar. It was taken at Yaya’s 23rd-birthday party and shows her and Nadech holding hand under the table.
No it doesn’t, Yaya tells Sanook.com. “We weren’t actually holding hands. He was just placing his hand over mine – you know, to show support and good wishes.”
Yeah, right. And the ring on her ring finger? “It’s just an old ring that fits that finger best, so that’s where I wear it. I know people see a ring on that finger as symbol of engagement, but where I come from [referring to her family background] it doesn’t mean anything.”
Nadech was next to be grilled. How, he was coyly asked, has his relationship with Yaya developed over the years? “Oh, we’re doing great, like we always have. We’ve always been there for each other, supporting each other and taking care of each other, and I think it’s great that way.”
Time to take off the gloves: Is she your girlfriend? Are you dating? “Well, that’s up to you what to think.”
It’s a yes, then. Case closed.

Bird and his buffalo

There is nothing that superstar Thongchai “Bird” McIntyre hasn’t done in his marvellous career – except toiling in a farmer’s field. But he’s done that too now, sort of. He swaps his microphone for a hoe in the short film “Rak Kham Diew”, airing on One Channel 31 on Sunday night.
Inspired by Bird’s latest single of the same name, the producer invited him to “play himself in an alternate reality” – as a farmer labouring far, far from the big city. Bird has to deal with cruel nature’s whims to survive – and it’s all because of love.
“When I sing the song, it means something particular to me, so it’s interesting that the same song can be interpreted differently and translated into film,” he tells Siam Dara.
“If the power of love can make you do absolutely anything, why can’t it make me a farmer?” Actually the thought never occurred to us, but carry on.
“I won’t give too much away, but the film is about me working as a farmer for a few days. You’ll also see how people really live with nature, how we connect with each other through nature.
“For me it was a great experience, and I’m sure you’ll find it entertaining and educational at the same time.”
