> Actress Ramona Zamzam says she is in no hurry to have children despite being married to Rami Alashkar, a Palestinian, for almost three years.

The couple had gone for several honeymoon trips in Malaysia and abroad, Berita Harian reported.

“When we have kids, we will not have time to go on trips. So this is the time for me to go on holiday with my husband,” said Ramona, 27.

The couple have travelled to Indonesia and Europe, among other places.

Ramona, whose full name is Rosramona Qadira Mohd Zamzam, said her husband had suggested that they should still travel even if she was expecting.

“He wants our child to be a honeymoon baby,” she said.

Ramona recently finished shooting a drama, Hola Hermosa, which will be aired soon on TV1.
