MULTI-TALENTED Amelia Hen­derson's life may seem nearly perfect with her fame, looks and brains.
Yet, when it comes to love, her path has been less than straightforward.
The actress, model and host, known for her roles in productions like the action-packed Blood Brothers: Bara Naga, among others, experienced a failed marriage eight years ago.
Since then, Amelia has chosen not to rush back into marriage, BH Ahad reported.
'I will never set aside my work just to focus on a relationship,' the 29-year-old said.
Her approach is not about rejecting love but allowing it to unfold naturally.
'Meeting the right person is beyond my control. I leave it to fate.
'Currently, the energy is pulling me more towards work. I don't want to go against it.'
Amelia also said that she was grateful that, in her nearly two-­decade career, she has managed to steer clear of any scandals.
> Noor Dyana Sudin, 23, has never viewed the large mole under her lip as a flaw, but rather as a unique feature that makes her who she is.
Metro Ahad reported that the mother of one, from Pandan Indah, Selangor, said her family's support has helped her embrace the birthmark with confidence, despite being the only one among nine siblings born with such a mark.
When her late mother once suggested removing the birthmark, Dyana chose not to, saying the birthmark was a special gift and a sign of God's greatness.
'My family is okay and always accepts me.
'Only my late mother once suggested I remove it, since nowadays there are treatments like lasers that can do that.
'But I chose not to remove it because I see the birthmark as a special gift, not everyone has one like mine, and it's proof of God's greatness.
'I go out as usual and never thought of covering up the birthmark, even when wearing makeup,' she said.
She admitted to being ridiculed as a child, but said she now lives confidently, even when people stare or ask questions.
Her husband, Mohammad Khai­rul Ai'imullah Mohamad Zamri, 27, has always accepted her appearance, never questioning her difference, and the couple is now happily married with a son.
