Malaysian Actress Nabila Huda Defends On-Screen Physical Interactions in Upcoming Drama
Market Impact
KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysian actress Nabila Huda Suhaimi, 41, has clarified that all physical interactions in her latest drama Cela were performed professionally and strictly according to script requirements. The remarks follow public discussion about a scene featuring her and co-star Hun Haqeem.
Nabila, who portrays the character Datuk Anees in the 12-episode drama, emphasized that viewers should distinguish between her real-life persona and the manipulative character she portrays. “When acting as Datuk Anees, I am not Nabila Huda. Every physical interaction has purpose, context, and direction,” she told Kosmo! Online during the premiere.
She acknowledged initial nervousness when working with Hun but noted that mutual trust and understanding helped them deliver authentic performances. “At first, we were both awkward, but once we understood the scenes and each other’s boundaries, it became professional responsibility,” she said.
The drama, directed by Feroz Kader, premiered on streaming platform Viu on August 20, 2026. It also stars Datuk Seri Eizlan Yusuf, Zarif Ghazzi, Zain Saidin, Ellyza Azizi, and Lisdawati. Nabila described her character as a master manipulator who ultimately loses control of her own emotions.
