Homewrecker in reel life vows never to do it in real life

RISING actress Wafariena Roslan is reaping the rewards from the success of her role as the protagonist Nurul Ain in the drama 7 Hari Mencintaiku 2, reported Kosmo.

Playing the role of a woman who breaks apart a family, the 25-yearold actress said she would however never do such a thing in real life as she herself grew up in a broken family.

“Only God knows the hardship experienced by our family, especially my mother who struggled to raise us seven siblings single-handedly,” she said.

Although reluctant to divulge details about her past, Wafariena, more popularly known as Wafa, said she was thankful that the role had advanced her acting career.

“If I visit a mall, people can identify me even if I wear a face mask.

“I asked them how they recognised me and they said it was just by looking at my eyebrows,” she laughed, adding that a single she sang on YouTube had garnered over 200,000 views after her appearance in the drama.

Fluent in Mandarin, Wafa hopes to expand her singing career internationally.

“I’d like my career to progress to China. Who knows? It could be possible,” she said.

> Dubbed Tasik Biru for its distinctly blue water, the former tin mine in Bukit Ibam, Rompin, has become an attraction among local tourists for its stunning views.

Visitors are now hoping that local authorities would upgrade the recreational facilities in the area, reported Berita Harian.

Despite the mine pool being unsafe for swimming or even aquatic life, tourists from all over the country have been flocking to the area during holidays to take photos of the scenic lake.

Restaurant owner, Muhammad Faris Hamdan, 38, who is from Kuantan, Pahang, said he had known about the beauty of Tasik Biru from friends and social media over the past few years.

“This time, I have the opportunity to come here myself but I did not expect it to be so enchanting,” he said, adding that he hoped relevant parties could provide facilities in the area for the comfort of visitors.

A tourist from Shah Alam, Nurul Hafiza Zakaria, 34, said she had visited other lakes in the country but Tasik Biru was unique because of its colour.

“It is very beautiful and I hope its increasing popularity will help expedite an upgrade of the area,” she said.
