Thương is a successful woman who has experienced many life challenges. She devotes her love and care to her younger brother, played by Thuận Nguyễn.
In real life, Lê Khánh is six years older than Quốc Trường. They had worked together on the same stage many years ago and are quite close, which made it comfortable for them to portray lovers. During rehearsals, the pair freely exchanged ideas to choose the best way to collaborate.

In this film, Lê Khánh faced a challenging underwater scene at a depth of 2.5 meters. Her husband, Tuấn Khải, was present on set to provide support and encouragement. “Although breathing through an oxygen machine underwater is very safe, I was psychologically afraid that I couldn’t make it. Thanks to the support of the crew and my husband, I was able to overcome this fear and complete this challenging scene”, shared Lê Khánh after conquering this difficult part of the film.

Lê Khánh, whose real name is Lê Kim Khánh, was born in 1981. She is an actress and an MC. The star of the film Hướng Nghiệp has won six Mai Vàng awards and numerous other significant accolades. Few people know that during her first year at the Drama and Cinema School, Lê Khánh was considered to lack artistic talent.
“I was once very confused and felt stuck because I couldn’t find my path. But instead of accepting my situation, I decided to make changes. What’s important is whether you dare to change your mindset when facing challenges. With each role, I live and breathe the art. I believe that if I just rest on my laurels and don’t strive to improve, I will never succeed”, Lê Khánh confided in an interview in 2016 with Dân Việt. In the same interview, the actress humorously admitted that when asked “If you weren’t an actress, what profession would suit you?”, she replied, “I think I’d be good at… begging”.

Leaving NSƯT Thành Lộc’s stage in early March, Lê Khánh shared that she wanted to take a break before finding a new direction in spoken drama. Her last performance with her husband on the stage of artist Thành Lộc was on March 2nd.
Many audiences refer to Lê Khánh as the “hundred-billion actress” due to her involvement in numerous high-grossing films, most recently Chị Dâu, which earned 113 billion VND at the box office in late 2024 and early 2025. In the film, Lê Khánh played the role of a stingy and gossipy accountant, the younger sister-in-law.
However, the actress humbly dismisses this title, believing that the revenue belongs to the producers and investors. “What’s important is the feedback and love from the audience, that’s the real hundred billion that I strive for”, she said.

Lê Khánh’s Happy Family Life
Currently, Lê Khánh enjoys a blissful family life with her husband, Tuấn Khải, and their two sons. She tied the knot with Tuấn Khải in 2014 after 12 years of dating. They met as classmates at the Drama and Cinema School.
When they first met, Tuấn Khải was a year ahead of Lê Khánh in school, so they often referred to each other as “older sister” and “little brother.” Tuấn Khải revealed that during their school days, he would tell his friends, “little brother treats older sister Khánh like his real sister”, which made their initial introduction a bit awkward.

Although Lê Khánh kept their relationship private, her colleagues were well aware of their love story. The actress shared that throughout the years, Tuấn Khải has always been a source of joy for her. He is also a sacrificing and dedicated family man. Without his support, she wouldn’t have been able to fully devote herself to her career.
Like many couples, Lê Khánh and Tuấn Khải almost broke up at one point. The actress felt that her boyfriend was too childish and immature. Determined to win her back, Tuấn Khải went to great lengths, even going as far as taking the same flight as Lê Khánh to the US and buying her a souvenir of a bride and groom. When they met again after four months apart, she noticed positive changes in him, and they rekindled their relationship, eventually leading to marriage.

Currently, both Lê Khánh and her husband pursue acting and business endeavors. Tuấn Khải often accompanies his wife to film sets and provides behind-the-scenes support.
They have two adorable sons named Khang and Kha. After having two boys, the couple has been encouraged to have a daughter to “complete” their family. However, Lê Khánh underwent sterilization after the birth of her second child. They decided to focus their attention and resources on raising their two sons well. Lê Khánh also experienced a challenging pregnancy journey.

Lê Khánh has been praised for her youthful appearance after two pregnancies, which she attributes to her dedication to yoga. During both pregnancies, she prioritized her children’s health and did not feel pressured to lose weight quickly. She avoided weight loss pills and instead relied on yoga and a disciplined diet, giving up her habit of late-night snacking.
“When losing weight, I don’t set short-term goals, like losing a certain number of kilograms in a specific time frame. I practice yoga and pay more attention to my diet, especially by not eating late at night”, she revealed.
