Now, the Klang-born star of films such as 'Talentime', 'J2: J Retribusi', 'Pulau', and 'Blood Brothers: Bara Naga' is encouraging her fans and followers to embrace a healthy lifestyle through sports. Like many Malaysians, the older of two siblings has taken a liking to pickleball, the popular paddle activity that combines elements of tennis, ping-pong and badminton. 'I'm not really into going to the gym as it stresses me out.

Her interest in sports doesn't come out of nowhere: she previously hosted sports programmes on Astro SuperSport, and also covered the US Open in 2022. Henderson hopes Pickle Depot will become the go-to spot for those who wish to unwind and stay active. So, when the opportunity came about, she didn't hesitate to venture into setting up a pickleball court with four business partners, including her younger brother. Henderson describes Pickle Depot, located in a green lung in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, as an 'oasis in the city'. 'When I first step foot into this space, I saw huge potential – not just for a business, but to build a healthy and active community,' said the actress, who began her career as a model in commercials before branching out into acting with the sitcom 'Keluarga Adam'. Henderson hopes Pickle Depot will become a destination of choice for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and for the sport to serve as a form of therapy for those coping with daily stress.
