Despite the many blessings and opportunities coming her way, Bela admitted that she has been dealing with personal struggles. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she shared a video of herself working with clay while “Someday I’ll Get It” by Alek Olsen played in the background.

“When a few sad things happened, and with the backdrop of what’s been happening in our country, I felt like I had no right to complain. I stayed quiet — probably shocking to some, since I usually speak up for what I believe is right and lend my voice to the silent,” she wrote.
She also admitted that a lot of things were happening in her personal life, and it reached a point where she started questioning the people closest to her.
However, she did not explicitly mention more details about her situation.
“While I filled my few free days with happy moments, I was learning the hard way who I could actually trust. People I’ve uplifted over the years turned a blind eye when they could have easily spoken up and helped carry my burden, for once. That wasn’t an easy pill to swallow. And things that hurt me as a child started showing up dressed as care and love.”
Despite not being as vocal as before, she shared a piece of advice that resonated with her followers.
“If you’re in the same boat… I haven’t figured it all out either. But I figured out today. My advice, if you need to get through today: listen to ‘Someday I’ll Get It,’ on loop and have yourself a good cry. You’ll feel better. Tomorrow, we’ll figure out the next steps again. And someday, we will actually get it.”
Bela recently concluded her successful run in the action series “Blood vs Duty.” She is now set to make her theater debut in “People, Places, and Things” this August.
