With fame comes public scrutiny and nasty haters, and veteran Singaporean actress Xiang Yun is all too familiar with it.

In the first episode of the YouTube talk show DNA where celebrity parents and their children have a chat with its host, actress Rebecca Lim, the 64-year-old opened up about the difficulties of being a public figure with kids.

She is married to local former actor Edmund Chen and they have two children, 25-year-old Chen Yixin and Chen Xi, 34.
