Siti Elizad wants to be a film director

Many filmmakers encourage me to learn, says actress

SITI Elizad (pic) would like to dabble in directing one day, Sinar Harian reported.

The Syurga Yang Kedua actress said she would take the opportunity to learn and observe how to direct while on the set.

“Many of them (directors) share their knowledge and they encourage me to learn, not just because I want to be a director myself one day, but also for me to become a better actress,” she said.

She also addressed rumours that her career and packed schedule have caused marital issues with her husband.

“Even though it may seem to others that I’m busy all the time, I’ve never neglected my duties as a wife.

“In fact, before I go out for work, I’ll still cook for my husband even though my call time is in the early morning,” said Siti Elizad, who likes to ride high-performance motorcycles with her husband.
