Veteran actor Azhan Rani told mStar on Monday that there is no cause for concern over actress Noorkhiriah’s temporary withdrawal from social media, describing the hiatus as a normal need for personal rest.

Azhan, 50, said Noorkhiriah’s decision to close her accounts “is only temporary” and that the actress is “okay” based on information from the production team of the drama 1000 Hari, where they last communicated via a group WhatsApp. “She is currently shooting in Pahang, so we know she is fine and working,” he added.
He recalled that Noorkhiriah had previously announced an intention to quit acting, only to return later, and that emotional fluctuations are common, especially among women, according to his remarks at the Chelot film awards ceremony in Kuala Lumpur. “People may wonder, but we know she will likely open a new account soon,” Azhan said.
When pressed about the nature of their relationship, Azhan clarified that it is strictly professional. “We are close only when we have a project together; I do not contact her daily,” he explained. “Our friendship exists within the context of the drama’s storyline, not beyond that.”
Azhan’s comments come amid widespread speculation on social platforms after Noorkhiriah deleted her accounts. He noted that the actress’s inner circle includes other friends who informed him of her ongoing filming schedule, confirming that the break is not linked to any personal crisis.
The actor’s reassurance may temper fan anxiety and reduce unfounded rumors that could affect the actress’s marketability and upcoming projects. In Malaysia’s entertainment sector, public perception often influences endorsement deals and viewership ratings; a calm narrative helps maintain stability for both the talent and the productions involved.
Azhan concluded by urging the public to focus on the actress’s wellbeing rather than conjecture, emphasizing that the most important fact is she is “okay.”
No further details on Noorkhiriah’s future social‑media plans were provided.
