`High School Musical’ star Vanessa Hudgens has revealed how her mother once lost her job because of her.

Venessa says that she is extremely close to her parents, particularly her mother Gina, who she still speaks to “almost every day”.

The 20-year-old actress has revealed that she found it difficult spending long periods of time away from her family after she rose to fame, and, thus, bombarded her mother’s office with calls.

“I got her fired once. I was calling her at work way too much, because I missed her. Back then, I was so shy, I did not want to leave her side. I would call her at work nonstop, to the point where she got fired. It was horrible,” Contacmusic quoted her as having told Parade magazine.
