SINCE her win in TV3’s reality-based game show,
Clever Girl, last year, Fatin Nuraisya Mohd Hanipha, 29, went on to host TV3’s bridal magazine show Mahligai
Cinta (Season 9).
Therefore, these days, she is easily recognised on the streets.
“People have come up to me and asked to take photos together. I have been approached by students asking for tips in managing their studies,” said the Kelantan beauty at a media briefing of Clever Girl (Season 2) at Sri Pentas in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya.
Fondly known as Fatin, the fulltime lawyer said that life was great so far.
“I’ve gained a lot of exposure from being involved in Clever Girl and Mahligai Cinta.
“The experiences have taught me a lot about the broadcasting scene. It is all about hard work and commitment.”
Fatin beat two other finalists — Mary Josephine Muhammad Houston from Pahang and Jane Lam Wai Chuin from Perak — to take home the Clever Girl Malaysia title and a RM100,000 cash prize.
Initially eliminated in Episode 5, Fatin and fellow contestant Arina Mohd Fairin Lum from Selangor returned to the show via a wildcard round.
