“On my 15th year someone recommended me to an agent and I started doing commercials, and during that time I was in the Science stream, but I wanted to be in the Art stream, and become an actor. I don’t want to do acting as a side income like others, I wanted to do it full time. And then just right before SPM I prayed to God saying if you don’t want me to do acting, then stop giving me acting jobs but if you want me to continue and pursue acting, tell me something. And then just right before my 17th birthday I got a part in a TV program where I am the host – and this is it! There is a reason for me to stay in acting. So I decided to continue acting after SPM. Other kids after SPM they will be looking for part time jobs, somewhere else. But right after new year’s eve, it’s my first time shooting, hosting a programme. And since then alhamdulillah things kept coming, one doors open right after another.
