Actress Bella Astillah had to present award to ex-husband's rumoured fling

Photo: TV3/YouTube There was an awkward moment at Malaysia's Melodi Hottest Awards 2025 on Aug 3. Malaysian singer-actress Bella Astillah was one of the presenters at the event broadcast live on TV3 from Putrajaya International Convention Centre. The 31-year-old was presenting the award for the winner of the Hottest Female Celebrity category with Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. Bella was visibly uncomfortable after she opened the envelope and saw the name of the winner. 'I know this one... I know her very well. Sophia,' she said, referring to Malaysian actress Sophia Albarakbah. Sophia, 32, went on stage after her name was announced. Bella swiftly passed her the trophy and a bouquet of flowers without making eye contact or acknowledging her. In early 2023, Bella accused Sophia of trying to wreck her marriage with her then husband, Malaysia-based Singaporean actor Aliff Aziz. Aliff and Sophia had both starred in the drama series Ku Akad Kau Dengan Bismillah (2023). Bella and Aliff, 34, first divorced in 2019, but reconciled in 2020. They divorced for the second time in June 2024 after Aliff was caught in khalwat (close proximity) with Malaysian actress Ruhainies, 33. Sophia was asked about the incident with Bella after the ceremony. "I'm OK because we're in the same industry. I never felt as if I was being mocked. Maybe that's just her way of presenting the award," she told entertainment portal Gempak. For the record, Bella and Syed Saddiq won in the Hottest Celebrity Couple Goals category, but she did not speak to the media. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Melodi, TV3 under fire for 'making' Bella Astillah award ex-husband's scandal Sophia, netizens not holding back
SHAH ALAM - TV3 and its show Melodi are facing intense backlash online after a controversial moment at the 2025 Melodi Hottest Awards (AMT25), where singer and actress Bella Astillah was made to present an award to her ex-husband's alleged former flame, Sophia Albarakbah. The incident reignited a highly publicised scandal and triggered accusations of emotional exploitation and insensitivity. TV3 and its show Melodi are under fire after Bella was made to present an award to her ex-husband's alleged former flame, Sophia, at AMT25. Photo: Facebook The AMT25 finale, held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), became the talk of the nation, not because of the winners but due to the visibly tense exchange between Bella and Sophia on stage. Bella, whose full name is Dayang Ara Nabellah Awang Astillah, 31, was presenting the award for Hottest Female Celebrity alongside Muar Member of Parliament (MP) Syed Saddiq. When announcing Sophia as the winner, Bella delivered the line: 'Huh, this one I know very well, Sophia.' Her expression, tone and body language made it clear that the moment was anything but casual. Bella did not greet, look at or stand next to Sophia as she handed her the trophy; visibly uncomfortable throughout the encounter. The moment, now viral across social media platforms, sparked a storm of criticism against TV3 and Melodi, with many accusing the network of deliberately setting up the encounter to stir drama and boost ratings. Netizens were swift and vocal in their condemnation of the organisers. Instagram user @fatinnuridayu wrote: 'Bella looked like she was holding back. Her voice was barely audible. Like she was about to have an anxiety attack. Who made Bella announce Sophia's part? Are they ignorant or just deliberately cruel? This is outrageous.' Another user, @asfa_azfarizah, echoed the sentiment: 'Why did Bella have to announce that part? Melodi?' @ayu_mashruddin criticised the decision-making behind the event: 'Whoever scheduled Bella to hand the award for that category, senseless move. Is TV3 desperate for cheap virality?' In contrast, some praised Bella's composure despite the difficult situation. User @kupluv commented: 'Well done Bella. Even though Melodi tried to stir drama, you handled it like a queen. You did it well, slay girl!' The awkward encounter reignited memories of a 2023 scandal involving Bella, Sophia and Bella's then-husband, singer Aliff Aziz. At the time, Sophia was accused of being the third party in Bella and Aliff's marriage during the filming of 'Ku Akan Kau Dengan Bismillah'. Bella publicly shared screenshots showing Sophia apologising and expressing her wish to 'clear the air.' TV3 and its show Melodi are under fire after Bella was made to present an award to her ex-husband's alleged former flame, Sophia, at AMT25. Photo: Facebook The issue became one of the most talked-about entertainment controversies of the year. Bella and Aliff, who married in 2016, were officially divorced for the second time on June 13, 2024, with one revocation (talak satu). They share two children: Ayden Adrian and Ara Adreanna. Following the ceremony, Bella was spotted by reporters but quickly dodged questions, appearing visibly distressed. Her silence only further fuelled public anger and speculation about the organisers' motives. Social media has since erupted with criticism of TV3 and Melodi, with users accusing the broadcaster of lacking empathy and professionalism. While Melodi and TV3 may have aimed to create a dramatic awards night, they now face serious questions about ethics, compassion and emotional responsibility. For many, the Bella-Sophia incident was not entertainment; it was a raw, painful reminder of unresolved wounds, played out for the cameras. Whether TV3 will respond to the backlash remains to be seen, but one thing is clear; audiences are not staying silent.

'Old is gold' and Rosyam Nor proves it right by winning the AMT2025 Hottest Viral Celebrity Award
You've got to hand it to Datuk Rosyam Nor. And please do not call the man a veteran despite being in the business for 40 years. Congratulations to one of Malaysia's most well-known actors and businessmen. He proved that at the age of 58, he is still the man to beat in the industry. Rosyam, who actually looked surprised when he was announced, but much to the delight of fans in the arena, was the recipient of the Hottest Viral Celebrity Award at the Hottest Melodi Awards 2025 ( Anugerah Selebriti Viral Terhangat di Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 - AMT2025 ). While Rosyam said the victory was a major surprise for him, it was not for the fans, as they celebrated with thunderous cheers from the audience. The category at AMT2025 is a special category given to individuals who have created an extraordinary impact on social media, and this year, the organisers said, no one is more deserving than Rosyam. It all started with a dramatic scene in the sensational TV3 drama 'Keluarga Itu', which featured Rosyam Nor as a conflicted husband. However, the most viral moment was when he adorably smacked his own lips. The scene sparked an explosion of reactions on TikTok, from parodies to reaction videos, making it one of the most talked about clips of the year. Rosyam also touched on the extraordinary impact of the viral scene, which sparked a wave of conversation on social media, reaching 1.3 billion tweets. This achievement is proof of how a simple but heartfelt moment of acting can transcend the screen and become a digital phenomenon, further cementing his position as a legendary figure who remains relevant. The award is also further proof that Rosyam is not only a legend in the world of acting but also a figure who is always able to adapt to current trends and tastes. From TV screens to phone screens, his influence remains relevant, even now, among the digital generation, who are always looking for stories that touch emotions and spark conversations.
