Fasha Sandha & Nur Sajat Reunite In Singapore After Attending Siti Nurhaliza's Concert
Over the weekend, Biduanita Negara Dato Sri Siti Nurhaliza held a concert in Singapore, where a few familiar faces from Malaysia attended the show. Most people would expect Malaysian and Singaporean stars would meet up before or after the performance to catch up, but many were surprised when the icon acknowledged celebrity entrepreneur Nur Sajat in the audience. She thanked the model for attending her show, having flown all the way from Australia. It turns out, Siti wasn't the only one who greeted the business owner, as actress Fasha Sandha also shared that she met up with her old friend after the concert. Here's what went down: Yesterday (Sunday, 27th July), actress Fasha Sandha posted a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram, sharing moments from her meetup with Nur Sajat. She expressed how impressed she was by the model's star power, so much so that even the icon Siti Nurhaliza acknowledged her presence during the concert. 'I bet everyone misses Sajat, right? Let us pray that she'll continue to succeed. We have no right to judge others, as everyone is going through their own journey. All we can do is pray for the best for them,' she wrote in the caption. Sajat responded to the post, saying their reunion was long overdue and thanked Fasha for being a supportive friend. 'After four years, we finally saw each other again. Thank you, @fashasandha, for the moments yesterday that I will forever treasure. Although we're far apart, we remain good friends. You're such a beautiful soul. May you and your family always be blessed,' the entrepreneur wrote. It's clear that Sajat had a good time in Singapore. Not only did she manage to catch up with an old friend and attend Siti Nurhaliza's concert, but she also got to take a photo with the legendary singer backstage after the show! Maybe one day, she'll get to go home without any legal consequences.
