Anna Jobling, Malaysia's favourite next-door sweetheart, is back to tweak the hearts in 'Setia itu Mahal'
It looks like Anna Jobling is the current 'The' actress in the local scene. The world, it seems, is at her feet. Already making waves with her upcoming movie "Duyung: Legenda Aurora", she is also cracking it up in the world of television. It's like Anna is seen in almost every other top TV series. After winning so many fans in last year's super hit series "Syurga Itu Bukan Mudah", she once again is the star attraction in the upcoming series "Setia itu Mahal" on TV's Akasia slot. In between all that, Anna had already seen in several other tele-series, including Astro's "Honey Minta Maaf". On top of that, besides "Duyung: Legenda Aurora", she is also starring in two Indonesian movies, "Sukma" and "Buhul. In short, she is certainly the one who is flying in her career and the 24-year-old beauty is certainly ready to melt the hearts in the upcoming "Setia itu Mahal" series. Coming to TV3's Akasia slot next week, Jamal Khan's latest script, "Setia Itu Mahal," is ready to test the audience's understanding of the true meaning of loyalty, which is expected to be a soul-wrenching affair. Produced by Wiranusa Corporation Sdn Bhd, it tells the story of a woman caught between love and lust. This 28-episode drama brings together a line-up of popular Malaysian actors such as Anna Jobling, Zahiril Adzim, Redza Rosli, and Rita Nadira, with a script written by Sophilea. Dalina (Anna Jobling), a famous fashion designer, lives happily with her husband, Dr Hakim (Zahiril Adzim) and their daughter, Alia. However, that happiness begins to be threatened when Tengku Farid (Redza Rosli), her first love, reappears, demanding a love that never fades. Even though Tengku Farid is now the husband of an influential woman, Tengku Natasya, his heart is said to still be attached to Dalina. Every glance and every word seems to revive feelings that have long been buried within Dalina. In the fatigue of taking care of the family, coupled with the feeling of being neglected by her overly busy husband, Dalina may begin to falter. When Alia falls ill and Dr Hakim cannot be reached, Dalina has no choice but to ask Tengku Farid for help. Will this call bring them back into the embrace of feelings that once existed and may never have died? Is this the beginning of a blurring point between loyalty and betrayal? And that is the premise of the much-awaited "Setia itu Mahal" drama. 'Dalina is a loving woman as a mother and wife… but she is also an ordinary person,' says Anna Jobling as she delves into the complex side of her main character in Setia Itu Mahal. 'She is not perfect. She struggles to understand what she feels and in her efforts to do the best she can, she becomes increasingly confused by her inner voice.' For Anna, Dalina's strength lies in the fact that she is not a victim and she herself has never tried to be one. 'She is just caught in a dilemma she never asked for… between an old love that appeared uninvited, and a loyalty that is increasingly distant.' Don't forget to mark your calendars ...

Anna Jobling declines Indonesian TV role over explicit scenes
17 Mar - Anna Jobling recently admitted that she had to say no to a TV project in Indonesia due to the existence of several questionable scenes. The actress, who has been making a name in the country since the success of "Melur Untuk Firdaus" a few years ago, said that she originally agreed to star in the drama, but had to withdraw after reading the script. "When I was reading the script, I found that there are some scenes that are not suitable for me to portray and I am not comfortable doing. Although it has an Islamic theme, the drama still has some explicit scenes," she said. Anna added that it was not something that she is willing to do. "I believe in God's blessings. Maybe I am not meant for that drama, but there will be other blessings for me," she said. The actress, who now stars in the new Ramadan drama, "Honey Minta Maaf", said that she will never do explicit scenes or even scenes that require her to wear sexy outfits, seeing that she is not that kind of person. "Even in real life, I prefer wearing a more proper outfit. I am quite uncomfortable being sexy on set," she admitted. (Photo Source: Anna IG)
