Vanessa Hudgens knows how to keep a secret.

On Wednesday night, the actress emerged victorious on "The Masked Singer" on FOX, confessing that while it was challenging to maintain secrecy, she relished the anonymity of performing under a mask.

"When you're recognized for your talent alone, it's much more fulfilling than being celebrated for your celebrity status," she said to Planet Chronicle Digital. "I believe that celebrity has become a big deal these days, especially with social media. However, talent should always come first because it's much more fulfilling."

Winning the Golden Mask trophy was a significant accomplishment for Hudgens, who gained fame through her debut role in "High School Musical."

"The accolade ranks high in my life because it was based on my personal talents and contributions, not on my celebrity status or name," she stated. "Being recognized for what's on the inside, it's the most meaningful award."

She has kept her pregnancy with MLB star, husband Cole Tucker, a secret.

"I've kept my pregnancy private, which has been a nice change because as an actor, you share so much of yourself," she told Planet Chronicle Digital.

In March, Hudgens revealed her baby bump at the Oscars, while she was still filming "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, and before that, she was pregnant.

Before the reshoots, we had already completed most of the stunt work. However, as she said with a laugh, "with productions, they always find a way to make things work, even when there's a will."

As a tech expert, Hudgens is part of the franchise for the fourth installment, which will be released on June 5.

"The 'Bad Boys' franchise has consistently delivered big action and big comedy, and this movie does not disappoint. The relationship between Will and Martin's characters is so unique and beautiful, and it's always just bigger and better. I think everyone will really enjoy it."

Meanwhile, Hudgens continues to revel in her "Masked Singer" victory.

"It was truly astonishing. It was exceptionally impressive. And it turned out to be far more profound than I anticipated," she remarked.

"In my years of working in Hollywood, I rarely have the chance to go into a job anonymously. As a goofy person who loves to make myself laugh, I appreciate the freedom to do so without people knowing my identity. I am thrilled to be able to pursue my passion for performing on stage and take home a win, which has touched my heart deeply."

During season 11, Hudgens portrayed the character of Goldfish and emerged victorious over other notable actors such as Kevin Hart, Jennifer Lewis, Corey Feldman, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, and Chrissy Metz in the competition.

Despite the costume's multiple layers and elements, performing as a goldfish was not challenging.

The costume department's artistry was truly impressive. The costume itself was made up of six layers, and the mask was a work of art. It was amazing to see the transformation from sketch to reality.

Hudgens kept her pregnancy and personal life private, but she hoped to connect with her fellow contestants off-screen.

She tried to persuade production to let the contestants know who each other was, believing it would create a beautiful community, but they responded with a firm "no." She shrugged and moved on.

Hudgens confessed that despite her efforts to comprehend the clues and heed their advice, she failed to solve the problem correctly.

Instead of being competitive, the 35-year-old focused on delivering something special for her fans and herself through her non-competitive approach to the show.

"Hudgens stated that she went into the project without thinking it would be a competition. She was motivated by her fans' desire for more music and any type of vocals from her. She added that she is her own toughest critic and will strive to make herself and her fans proud."
