Michelle Salas reflects on the death of Silvia Pinal
Model Michelle Salas has shared her emotional experience regarding the death of her great-grandmother, the legendary Mexican cinema icon Silvia Pinal. In a recent video, Salas described the period as “superdoloroso” (super painful) due to the distance between her and her family at the time of the passing.
Salas was in Madrid, Spain, when Pinal died. She expressed frustration and difficulty in processing the news, noting that she was 12 hours away and was the only family member unable to see Pinal before her death. Despite the initial pain, Salas stated she has found peace with the situation, suggesting that Pinal may not have wanted her to witness her final moments.
Salas, a member of the fourth generation of the Pinal family, emphasized the close bond she shared with the matriarch and continues to cherish their shared memories.
