Photos: Bella Astillah/Instagram Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman says he is truly grateful to actress Bella Astillah for standing by him during a challenging time. Speaking during a livestream on his TikTok account Wednesday night (June 26), the 32-year-old Muar MP revealed that over the course of their six-month acquaintance, Bella had been a constant presence in his life. 'Many people have asked me where Bella is. I think she's taking a break because earlier today (Wednesday), she was with me the whole time. 'I truly owe her a debt of gratitude. Even though we've only known each other for a few months, she's always been there – making me happy, working together... she's always been by my side,' he said. Syed Saddiq added that he couldn't always appear alongside the 31-year-old actress, whose full name is Dayang Nabellah Awang Astillah, as she has responsibilities of her own. 'She has her children, Ayden and Ara, who need her love and attention as a mother,' he said. 'I feel guilty sometimes because she has her work and her family too. He told his supporters that he will not forget Bella's kindness. "She is an extraordinary woman. Whatever hardship I've faced is nothing compared to what she has gone through,' he added On Wednesday morning, Bella was seen arriving at the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya to show support as Syed Saddiq awaited a ruling on his appeal. He was later acquitted of all four charges in the RM1.2mil graft case involving funds from Armada Bersatu. Bella described the verdict as a 'deserved win' for the Syed Saddiq. 'He's an honest, genuine and brave person who does everything with a sincere heart. Maybe this is a form of repayment for all the good he has done,' she told mStar, The Star 's Malay-language news portal.
