#SHOWBIZ: Aslam to apologise to Abby Abadi to end family crisis
KUALA LUMPUR: The controversial marriage between actress Marissa Dania Hakim and Ahmad Aslam continues to draw attention, with Aslam expressing his desire to formally apologise to his mother-in-law, Abby Abadi, to resolve the lingering family issues.
Aslam, who married Marissa in Songkhla, Thailand, on Dec 27, 2023, acknowledged that the situation stemmed from his actions.
The marriage took place without the knowledge of his first wife, Umisya Mazlan, who was performing Umrah at the time, or Marissa's parents, actors Norman Hakim and Abby.
"I realise and admit my mistakes. So, I ask all parties not to make the situation worse.
"I am also a normal human being; I make mistakes and try to improve myself, God willing," Aslam told BH Online.
Following the marriage, Abby had expressed surprise when asked to apologise to Aslam's first wife, Umisya.
Instead, she called on Aslam to apologise to her.
Aslam stated his intentions to meet Abby, saying, "I do have plans to meet her, God willing, when I have time. I am also looking for a suitable time to meet her."
Meanwhile, Aslam and Marissa appeared at the Federal Territory Syariah Court here for confirmation proceedings regarding their marriage today.
However, the court adjourned the proceedings, citing technical issues with the application form.
"There was a slight problem regarding personal information in the confirmation of overseas marriage application form, so we were asked to update our personal information and come back on another date," Aslam said.
Aslam and Umisya were married in July 2020 and have three children: Hud, 4, Nuh, 3, and a two-month-old daughter.
Aslam and Marissa do not have children yet.

#SHOWBIZ: Lawyer of Fikry Ibrahim's wife denies she withdrew divorce application
KUALA LUMPUR: The Syariah lawyer representing Siti Khalizah Alihan, Wan Muhammad Afiq Mohd Razib, has refuted claims made by actor and host Fikry Ibrahim on TV3's Melodi last night, asserting that his client, Fikry's wife, has not withdrawn her divorce application. In a news report today, Wan Muhammad Afiq said that if the divorce application had indeed been withdrawn at the Federal Territory Syariah Court yesterday, as Fikry alleged, then no adjournment date would have been set for the divorce proceedings. "Yes, the court had given a long period for reconciliation. However, if the application were withdrawn, there wouldn't be an extension date issued by the court," he said. "We are requesting a further date to await the plaintiff's (Fikry's) response. If we had withdrawn it yesterday, then it would be over, with no adjournment date issued." He added: "There was no retraction yesterday. What the media reported yesterday is correct. I also don't want to inform (the media) otherwise." Fikry, who spoke to the media after the live broadcast of Melodi at Balai Berita last night, claimed that Siti Khalizah had appeared at the Federal Territory Syariah Court to withdraw her divorce application, which was filed last month. Fikry maintained that his marriage to Siti Khalizah, whom he married on Jan 12, is stable, even claiming they love each other. Commenting on Fikry's absence from the Federal Territory Syariah Court yesterday, Wan Muhammad Afiq confirmed that the summons had been served, but the plaintiff was not present. "The question of whether he (Fikry) sent our client to the court is outside our jurisdiction. What is certain is that he was not present yesterday," Wan Muhammad Afiq said. "We are all waiting for his stance on whether he wants to agree or not, or whether he wants to reconcile, because fundamentally, our client wants to reconcile. So, we need to know the plaintiff's position – whether he wants to reconcile or not. "But he (Fikry) didn't come yesterday either, so we couldn't get a response. If we are to make peace, there may be terms that need to be followed. Perhaps we can reconcile, which is why we need his stance and answer. "If he (Fikry) had come yesterday, we could have discussed it or received an answer. But he didn't come. So, we don't know his position. That's why the court set a postponement date." Yesterday, Wan Muhammad Afiq announced that his client had filed for divorce due to a lack of understanding between the couple. After the first mention of the divorce claim and application was completed yesterday, Wan Muhammad Afiq reportedly said that proceedings would continue on Sept 10 to allow both parties time to reconcile.

#SHOWBIZ: Kayda captivated by her fiancé's kind personality, caring attitude
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Kayda Aziz has revealed that her fiancé's exceptional character and caring nature were key factors in her decision to choose him as her future husband. The 34-year-old artiste, whose real name is Wan Nur Khaleda Roslan, explained that her relationship with Muhammad Syafiq Othman, 35, which began in 2023, started casually. "I met him through friends. Many of them have known Muhammad Syafiq for a long time, but we had never crossed paths. "So, when we finally met, I was surprised by how many people spoke so highly of him. "It was only after getting to know him better that I understood why. He's a genuinely lovely person," she told BH Online. The daughter of renowned singer Datuk Sheila Majid also believes that finding a kind-hearted man is a rare feat in today's world. "It's very unusual to find a truly kind and generous man nowadays. He's hardworking, responsible, and very trustworthy. I've also witnessed how dedicated and supportive he is towards his family," she said. "Honestly, that's what truly captivated me. My grandmother always said that when you're looking for a partner, you must find a good person. "He is exactly the person I've been searching for all this time. I prioritise a person's character, then their work ethic. "Looks aren't a priority, but for me, he's still handsome," she quipped playfully. When asked about her wedding plans, Kayda said that no date has been set yet, as there are still many arrangements to finalise. "God willing, perhaps next year. I still need to attend a marriage course, submit documents, book a mosque, await confirmation from the imam or tok kadi, and handle many other things," she said. Kayda added: "Next year, maybe early in the year before Aidilfitri or possibly after. It all depends on God's will." Commenting on the challenges of marriage preparations, Kayda shared that she's feeling positive, thanks to the unwavering support from her family and friends. "My family is incredibly supportive, but I am a little apprehensive because I've heard stories from friends about the complexities of getting married. "However, with my family's backing, I'm confident that everything will be made easier," she said. Yesterday, it was reported that Sheila expressed her delight by sharing a social media post showing her eldest daughter, Kayda, engaged to her chosen partner, Syafiq. The Instagram entry featured Kayda in an elegant pink traditional dress, accompanied by Sheila's words of gratitude and prayers for a smooth event.

#SHOWBIZ: Nora Danish: I have marriage proposals from uztaz, religious men
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular actress Nora Danish has expressed her disappointment after her wish to perform the haj pilgrimage this year was not fulfilled. Describing the turn of events as a lack of rezeki (divine sustenance), Nora, whose full name is Nora Mohd Danish Hanif, 43, remains confident that her dream of fulfilling the fifth pillar of Islam will one day come true. "I wanted to perform haj this year. I was ready. When I couldn't go, I felt very upset and sad. "We can only plan, but God is the one who determines it. After all, the call to perform haj comes from God. If it's destined, then it will happen. "So, I will celebrate Aidiladha here in Malaysia. Who knows, next year I might have the good fortune to perform haj with my new husband," she told BH Online. Commenting on the statement that seemed to hint at her remarriage, Nora clarified that it was merely a sentimental remark, not an indication of her desire to end her widowhood as widely assumed. Nora insisted that remarriage was not currently on her mind, as she is in a phase of self-discovery. "For me, everyone in this life definitely wants a partner, and I'm no exception. If possible, when going through a challenge, I don't want to face it alone," she said. "However, for now, I haven't thought about finding a soulmate. My focus today is simply to get to know myself." When asked if she would consider a match among ustaz (religious scholars), the single mother of two was open to the idea if that were her destiny. "As I enter a phase of drawing closer to Allah, I am often surrounded by ustaz, habib (descendants of Prophet Muhammad), and maulana (respected religious scholars) to fill the space in my heart," she said. "There's no doubt that some of them have approached me with the intention of marriage. But that's as far as it goes. I've drawn a line; I'm not ready to marry." Nora added, "I don't want to rush into finding a partner. I don't want to marry just because I'm lonely." "However, there's no denying that this religious group has a calm demeanour and polite speech. Indirectly, that trait has touched my heart. "This is the challenge I'm facing now. Fortunately, I have friends who advise me not to get carried away by my feelings," she said. Nora and her ex-husband, Nedim Mohamad Nazri, 41, divorced in June last year after seven years of marriage. They have one son together, Mohamed Neqayl, 6. Before that, Nora married Datuk Rizal Ashram or Jejai on June 20, 2006, and had a son, Putra Rayqal, 15, before their divorce in 2008.
