#SHOWBIZ: Amyra, Amar grateful to celebrate Aidiladha together
KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Amyra Rosli was delighted to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha or Hari Raya Korban with her husband, actor Amar Baharin.
Amyra, whose real name is Nur Amira Izzati Rosli, admitted she hadn't expected Amar to be back for the celebrations.
She thought his #JourneyToTanahHaram expedition would keep him away for three months.
"Alhamdulillah, Amar returned last Thursday. His flight was actually scheduled for Friday, but thankfully, he arrived early.
"We thought the expedition would take three months because he planned to travel through India and Pakistan, but that wasn't possible, so he shortened the trip.
"Before he left, I was sad, thinking I'd be celebrating Eid al-Adha alone, but I told myself it would be okay.
"It seems Allah allowed me to celebrate Eid al-Adha with my husband. Alhamdulillah, we were even able to fast on the Day of Arafah together," she told BH Online.
Sharing an update on Amar, Amyra said her husband is in good health and will be holding a small Thanksgiving ceremony with his family this evening.
"Amar is doing well because he had enough rest in Madinah for about five days. I'm so relieved to see him. "The first thing Amar said when he saw us was that he missed us," she shared.
Speaking about her role as a wife, Amyra emphasised that she supports her husband's passions and always maintains a positive outlook.
"Honestly, I don't see it as much of a sacrifice; I simply allow it because it's Amar's passion. I have to support what my husband enjoys. What he's doing is an experience very few people get.
"I haven't had to manage many new things, but I'm learning to be more independent. I like to manage my own life, and even when Amar isn't around, I can handle things myself.
"I can manage everything well – the children, family, work, household chores, and everything else. Really, God allowed me to experience independence," she explained.
Amar and Datuk Muhamad Muqharabbin Mokhtarrudin, also known as Qobin, concluded their cycling mission under the #JourneyToTanahHaram programme in Madinah.
Amar and Qobin, who were also the first Malaysians to conquer Mount Everest, began their cycling journey from Perlis, traversing several countries, including Thailand and Iran, before arriving in Saudi Arabia.
