#SHOWBIZ: The definition of beauty is Bella Astillah, says Syed Saddiq
KUALA LUMPUR: The potent chemistry between singer and actress Bella Astillah and Muar member of parliament, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, continues to attract public attention.
In a humourous TikTok video uploaded by the 31-year-old artiste yesterday, the 33-year-old politician was seen accepting Bella's challenge to apply makeup to her face as part of a session to promote a cosmetics brand.
"Because you're like a cat, I have to apply this foundation under your chin too," teased Syed Saddiq to Bella's horror as she exclaimed that he had applied the wrong shade.
He replied with, "You look beautiful no matter what shade you wear."
Later, when Bella, whose full name is Dayang Nabellah Awang Astillah, asked him what his definition of beauty was, Syed Saddiq simply replied: "The definition of beauty... Bella Astillah."
His seemingly spontaneous answer drew lots of positive responses from netizens who liked what they saw.
The video has already been viewed over 1.5 million times and received over 100,000 likes.
This follows a previous viral video that saw netizens advising the lovely couple, dubbed BASS, to quickly get married after they were seen attending a recent Aidilfitri open house by CTDK Holdings and Yayasan Nurjiwa together in the capital.
Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah's friendship blossomed after they collaborated as ambassadors for a local clothing brand.
The politician subsequently appeared in Bella's music video, "Tapi Bukan Denganmu," and the two even climbed to the peak of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah together.
Despite their frequent public appearances together, neither one has confirmed the nature of their relationship.
Syed Saddiq is currently single, while Bella is a single mother of two, Mohamed Ayden Adrean, 8, and Ara Adreanna, 5, following her divorce on June 13 last year.
