#SHOWBIZ: Mila Mohsin set to follow parents' footsteps in acting
KUALA LUMPUR: Following in the esteemed footsteps of her late father, Hani Mohsin Hanafi, and her mother, Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina, actress and jiu-jitsu instructor Mila Mohsin, 31, is poised to make her mark in the entertainment industry.
Mila, whose full name is Hani Karmila Hani Mohsin, shared that her mother, the acclaimed producer and star of Puteri Gunung Ledang The Movie, has given her blessing for Mila to pursue acting.
This exciting new chapter begins with the film Laknat, set to premiere on June 5.
"Coincidentally, Saw Teong Hin, the director of Laknat, contacted me and without hesitation, I agreed to join the cast," Mila revealed at a recent preview of the movie at GSC Mid Valley Megamall.
Having made her acting debut last year in Melur The Musical at the Petaling Jaya Performing Arts Centre (PJPAC), Mila expressed immense gratitude for having learned the fundamentals of acting directly from her parents.
"Every step I take, they are in my heart and soul. If the film is successful, I'll be very grateful and thankful to them," she said.
Mila further emphasised her appreciation for compelling narratives, whether in mainstream or independent productions.
While comparisons to her illustrious parents are inevitable, Mila's mother has encouraged her to "be herself" and disregard any naysayers.
"I'm determined to be my own person in showbiz. I feel blessed to have parents who worked hard to excel in showbiz, and they are my role models who have set the benchmark high," Mila said, highlighting her ambition to forge her unique path.
Mila also draws inspiration from the versatile actor Bront Palarae, commending his ability to elevate Malaysia's cinematic presence globally through his roles in Indonesian productions and international award-winning films.
"Bront Palarae is multi-talented, one of our finest actors, who has put our movie industry on the global map," she said.

Actress-singer Fazura prefers to leave legal issues to lawyers; prefers to concentrate on new single composed by Indonesian ace Ade Govinda
KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly two months have passed since allegations emerged that the company owned by popular actress and entrepreneur Nur Fazura Sharifuddin failed to settle a RM4.65 million debt owed to a headscarf manufacturing factory. Despite being repeatedly pressed by the claimant as well as by netizens on social media to address the issue, the celebrity has remained silent, going about her daily life, including promoting her headscarves on social media. And on Saturday, she notched up a big step in her career after launching the music video of her latest single 'Luar Biasa' which is composed by ace Indonesian producer Ade Govinda. Speaking to reporters at a press conference after launching the music video Fazura, 41, said the lawsuit against her company is a confidential matter and has been handed over to her lawyers for further action. Fazura, who is also a singer and television host, said she preferred not to comment further as it involves two separate entities. "Honestly, there's nothing I can explain because we have to understand that I, Fazura, and the company are two different entities.

The company is the company, and Fazura is me personally, that's the distinction. "So really, I can't say much about the company or whatever is going on. I've left all my company-related matters to my lawyers to take action," she said. Fazura made these remarks when asked by reporters to comment on the RM4.65 million lawsuit filed by a headscarf supplier against her company Pink Fate Sdn Bhd. Admitting that she is affected by the controversy, the 'Pisau Cukur' star actress said such issues are among the challenges any entrepreneur must face. "What haven't I gone through in the past eight months? Of course, I've been affected. I'm not someone without feelings but as an entrepreneur, I understand this is normal. I don't think it's necessary to explain, because outsiders may not understand and could twist the facts," she said. "I know the business I'm running isn't a small one and I'm confident all entrepreneurs out there will understand the challenges that come with being in the business world," she added. According to media reports early last month, headscarf manufacturer Obor Holding Sdn Bhd is taking legal action against Pink Fate for allegedly owing the company RM4.65 million. Obor Holding claimed that Pink Fate had only paid RM2.68 million out of the total RM7.3 million value of headscarves supplied since June 2022. - Bernama

This indeed a grand outing: two icons, one song - local legend Misha Omar and Indonesian star Melly Goeslaw unite for 'Break'
Renowned songstress and local legend Misha Omar returns to the spotlight with "Break", a stirring and emotional new single that marks her first-ever collaboration with Indonesian music legend Melly Goeslaw. At 43, and with over two decades of musical excellence under her belt, the three-time Anugerah Juara Lagu Best Vocalist breathes life into "Break", a beautifully crafted composition by Melly Goeslaw, with musical arrangement by celebrated producer Tohpati. Though the title "Break" may suggest a pause, for Misha Omar, it symbolises the opposite — a bold reaffirmation of her commitment to creating timeless, quality music that resonates deeply with her audience. 'I've always dreamed of performing a song written by Melly,' Misha shares. 'So I took the leap and messaged her directly on social media. To my delight, she responded - and "Break" was born, written specifically for me. "This collaboration is incredibly special and came at exactly the right moment in my journey.' Recorded in Jakarta, "Break" is a testament to Misha's meticulous approach to her craft. From vocal training sessions with Datuk Syafinaz Selamat to deep lyrical analysis, Misha ensured every note and phrase of the song conveyed heartfelt emotion. 'Before every new project, I undergo a thorough preparation process - vocal classes, emotional immersion, and lyrical study - so that I can fully deliver the song's message,' she explains. 'I hope "Break" will touch souls and leave a lasting impression.' "Break" also adds another meaningful entry to her rich catalogue, following last year's single "Masihkan Ada Rasa Itu". Yet beyond personal milestones, Misha sees this project as a celebration of the musical richness of the Nusantara region. 'This collaboration with an Indonesian composer is not about overshadowing local talent but rather broadening my horizons and embracing the beauty of regional musical diversity. I hope this inspires continued appreciation and support for our industry," said Misha "Break" is available for streaming and download from Friday (June 20) on all major platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music. It has aptly named teaser for the new song -- Don't take a break— tune in to "Break" CREDITS Artist: Misha Omar Tittle: Break Composer: Melly Goeslow Lyricist: Melly Goeslow Producer: Tohpati Publisher: Aquarius Pustaka Musik Release Date: Friday, 20 June 2025
