#SHOWBIZ: Chocolates and camera time for Muaz
"WE need desserts to sweeten up our days, especially when things don't go according to plan," actor Muaz Zabir quipped. The 27-year-old actor, who recently appeared in the popular TV3 drama series Keluarga Itu, revealed his plans to supply desserts to a friend's upcoming cafe. This marks another foray into the world of business for Muaz, who has been balancing his entrepreneurial pursuits with his acting career. Muaz's acting career took off after winning the TV3 reality show Fit For Action in 2022. He then landed a role in the 2023 TV drama Bukan Hanya Sekadar Cinta. Before his entertainment career, he worked as a personal trainer. During the recent Ramadan period, Muaz took a brief hiatus from acting after completing his filming commitments for Keluarga Itu, which features a star-studded cast including Datuk Rosyam Noor, Datin Seri Umie Aida, Izara Aishah, Puteri Balqis, Amir Ahnaf, and Fattah Amin. Instead of resting on his laurels, Muaz kept busy with various projects, including selling clothing at Hari Raya bazaars in both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. He also serves as a brand ambassador for Primavalet. Muaz also participated in Media Prima's recent corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, Tonton Gen+ Suai Kenal Sekolah, organized by TV3, Tonton, and DIDIKTVKPM. Safi Shayla was the project's brand partner. As part of the programme, Muaz shared his experiences with students at Sekolah Seri Puteri in Cyberjaya. Other celebrities involved in the initiative included Syahir Shafein, Anim Ezati, Zharif Ghazzi, Sharul Kamal, Fitri Farok, Hakimi Noordin, Shah (Tapaw), and Nisa Ka. Regarding his new dessert venture, Muaz sees it as an opportunity to expand his horizons and gain valuable business experience. "I'll be supplying chocolate and strawberry-based desserts initially. "As we progress, we may expand the menu to include other sweet treats, such as banana-based desserts and ice cream," Muaz explained. He added. "If chocolate can brighten someone's day, why not?" "Since I'm relatively new to this, I'm relying on a trusted team to help manage the day-to-day operations. "However, I'm personally involved in the research and development, supplier sourcing, and other crucial aspects of the business," he said.

Bella and my mother are okay, they have even had meals together," he told Oh Bulan. The Keluarga Itu actor said that he still maintained a good relationship with Bella despite their previous controversy. "We are still friends and have no problem working with each other. Even during the Hari Raya holidays, I went to Bella's house and met her family." "There was no intention to make a video (of himself with Bella's kids) viral and the post was also done by someone else. Previously, a video featuring the actor with Bella's two children during a Raya open house went viral. On another note, Muaz admitted that he likes to entertain children because they bring "joy to his life". "I receive many messages from single mothers. They have praised me for this.
