Just friends: Alya Iman addresses Amir Ahnaf dating speculation
22 May - Alya Iman recently admitted to have a close relationship with actor Amir Ahnaf, but denies that the two of them are dating.
The 24-year-old actress, who stars alongside Amir in the new Viu drama, "Pabila Dia Tersenyum", said that they have known each other for a while now, even before starring in the Astro drama, "Syurga Itu Bukan Mudah" for the first time two years ago.
"So yes, we are close. But we are nothing more than friends," she said.
Commenting further, Alya said that she would be more comfortable keeping it to herself if she had a boyfriend.
"If there is, I will 'keep it private'. The more people know, the more people can destroy it. So, I am comfortable focusing on my career," she added.
At the same time, she admitted that she enjoys working with Amir, adding that the actor always gives her ideas to improve her acting.
The drama, "Pabila Dia Tersenyum", which has been trending on Viu, is an adaptation of author Liza Nur's novel of the same name.

J.K. Simmons to Lead MGM+ Period Crime Drama THE WESTIES — GeekTyrant
J.K. Simmons is heading back into the dark and dangerous world of crime, this time as the lead in MGM+'s new period drama The Westies , and it sounds like a perfect fit. Known for playing characters with unshakable presence and intensity in projects like Whiplash , Oz , and Invincible , Simmons will take on the role of Eamon Sweeney, a brutal yet charismatic boss of a Hell's Kitchen crime gang in the early 1980s. The Westies is co-created by Chris Brancato ( Narcos , Godfather of Harlem ) and Michael Panes, and it drops viewers into a volatile era when the Jacob Javitz Convention Center was rising, and so were the criminal opportunities. The Irish-American gang known as the Westies might've been dwarfed in size by the Italian mafia, but they compensated with brutality and street smarts, carving out a dangerous slice of Manhattan's underworld. Simmons' character, Eamon, is described as having "old-school charm and neighborhood loyalty" that barely conceal "fierce criminal ambition and calculated brutality." It sounds like a tailor-made role for an actor who can flip from warmth to menace in a heartbeat. 'J.K. Simmons is one of the finest actors working today,' said Michael Wright, head of MGM+. 'His authenticity and intensity bring an invaluable quality to this complex and exhilarating story, and we can't wait to see him bring this unforgettable character to life.' Brancato echoed that excitement, adding, 'J.K. Simmons doesn't just play authority — he radiates it. We're lucky to have an actor who brings the gravitas and danger that this world demands.' Production on the eight-episode series kicks off in July in Toronto. No word yet on a premiere date, but The Westies is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of gritty, character-driven crime dramas. Source: Deadline
