It is known that after winning the Miss title, Tran Khai Lam was signed a management contract by TVB and turned to acting. Due to lack of experience, she did not perform well and received many negative reviews. "That was the darkest period of my life," the beauty said.

Tran Khai Lam added: "Because I had no experience and no training in acting, people talked a lot. They criticized me for being a bad actor, saying I was a walking flower vase, taking advantage of unspoken rules to get the role. Articles said that I couldn't be the female lead, why was the role given to me? So much negative news came pouring in that I didn't know how to react."

Miss Hong Kong continued: "I hid in my room, not wanting to see other people. I felt ugly, disappointed in myself. I didn't know what to do, just lying on the bed, depressed. When someone on the street asked me if I was Chan Kai Lam, I felt like they were laughing at me. I felt like everyone was talking about me at that time, it was terrible."
