#SHOWBIZ: Adira Suhaimi stands by Bella Astillah, avoids commenting on drama
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Adira Suhaimi is continuing to show her support for fellow artiste Bella Astillah following a recent incident at Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 (AMT 2025).
Adira, 33, considers Bella, 31, to be like a sister.
She told Harian Metro that the two remain close and communicate regularly on WhatsApp.
"I messaged her yesterday to offer my encouragement. If she's happy, I'm happy. If she's down, I feel it too. All I can do is pray for the best for her," Adira was quoted as saying.
When asked about the incident at AMT 2025 involving Bella and actress Sophia Albarakbah, Adira chose not to comment.
She said that she prefers to not get involved but always wishes Bella happiness.
Adira also expressed her joy over Bella's rumoured relationship with Syed Saddiq, saying: "I just want to see her happy. I even smile when I watch her videos."
Adira also shared her sympathy for singer Hafiz Suip, who recently went through a divorce.
She hopes he stays strong and continues with his music career.
"His voice is a gift. Not everyone has that talent. I hope he keeps going," she said.
Adira, who famously collaborated with Hafiz on the hit song 'Ombak Rindu', said she would be open to working with him again if the opportunity arose.
Meanwhile, Adira is scheduled to perform at Festival Tentang Cinta on Aug 9 at the Sabah International Convention Centre.
She will be sharing the stage with Hael Husaini, Ara Johari, Marygrace, and Indonesian singers Andmesh and Ziva Magnolya.
"This is more than just a show; it's like coming home. I want the audience to feel my sincerity on stage," said the artiste, who is originally from Ranau, Sabah.
