Meet Zarif Ghazzi, the young actor at the age of 21, who is already melting hearts and burning up the tracks in Malaysia's acting world.
Making his entry into acting immediately after his studies, Zarif won plaudits when he was among the lead stars for top local drama series "Antara Dua Syurga" and "Berbahag Suami".
He stole the show when he was announced as the "hottest newcomer (Selebriti Newcomer Terhangat)" at the Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 (AMT2025) this year.
But what made it an even more amazing day for the youngster was that he got all 100% per cent votes for the title, thus upstaging many other well-known and more experienced winners at the starry event.
Winning the award also meant that the young star was crowning himself as the most prominent and influential new face of the year in the local acting industry.
"I'm still surprised, honestly. In fact, in a daze. I take this as a blessing for my young career. I'm so thankful for all the votes. It is just amazing, I got 100% of the votes. This is indeed a very, very big honour," said
"My journey in the industry is still long, and there are still many more characters that I need to improve and present to the fans. I am very grateful. Thank you to TV3 for opening up space and giving me a platform to be known, and most importantly, to the fans who voted non-stop and believed in me from the beginning.
"This victory belongs to all of you. This is just the beginning, I promise to continue to work hard and give my best," said Zarif.
The young man from Johor has acted in many TV series already, and that includes top productions like "Khunsa, Isteri Halal, and Persis Boneka." This year, he is already down as one of the leads in "Seribu Tahun," an Astro production that had many followers.
Many fans and entertainment experts also believe that the talented actor is exactly the down-to-earth type that can breath new standards for the entertainment industry in the country.
In the press release from the event, Melodi also stated that Zarif is a young star to watch in the future, and many believe he is the face of the future for the industry.
"Zarif's victory is the beginning of a more glorious journey. We will certainly continue to see more successes from Zarif in the future," the statement said.
The young actor also seems to be grounded in his blossoming career.
"On the part of career, I just hope the journey is a long one. I hope to learn and improve. I also want time to further my studies. I'm in no hurry to be a superstar or anything of that sort. Not now anyway. There is no rush. I have time, and I just want to make the most of every minute of it," said the young and talented but humble Zarif.
