Actress Nina Kho shared the excitement of playing the role of a convert which required her to wear a hijab.
Nina or Nina Kho Siew Ching, 33, said that although it was difficult to adapt, she felt her face looked beautiful when she wore the hijab.
“I think wearing a hijab is very beautiful, but I’m not good at styling it. I thought that my friends who wear hijabs are really difficult because they have to withstand the heat. But I think I look beautiful wearing a hijab and I look holy and even many people praise me when I upload a hijab photo on social media,” he said mStar.
In the meantime, Nina said she doesn’t mind portraying a veiled woman and admits it’s not easy to style her neatly. He added, now he also understands why a woman needs to cover her private parts in Islam.
” I don’t mind playing the character of a veiled woman because I really like it. My mother also praises when her daughter is beautiful wearing a hijab. To be honest, I admit that it is difficult to wear a hijab. If you see other people wearing it, it’s easy, but when you want to wrap it yourself, it’s a bit difficult,” he said.
Meanwhile, Nina explained that there are still many things that need to be improved as an actress, especially improving communication in Malay. According to this actor originally from Sarawak, the use of Hokkien dialect and Mandarin at home makes it difficult for him to speak Malay well.
“I started acting in Malay dramas since 2022. I do have high hopes to enter the Malay drama market. I think the opportunity is there but I need to improve my use of Malay because at the moment I am still not really fluent. It was quite difficult for me,” he said. – Agency
