KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Jazmy Juma has revealed that he does not take criticism from viewers of his performances to heart, particularly those related to his latest drama.
Jazmy, also known as Jazmy Khan Juma Khan, 28, believes that critics actually have a positive impact on actors, helping them to grow and correct their mistakes. "Critics help me as an actor to become better. I read all their comments, even if some are quite extreme. But I never take it personally because I do my research on these things, so there's nothing to worry about," he said.
Jazmy shared these thoughts at the exclusive meet-and-greet and final episode screening of "Yes! Captain Zul Aaryan" at Marriot Hotel. He emphasized that no negative comments have had a bad effect on his emotions. Instead, he considers public opinions as part of a learning process to prevent similar mistakes from recurring.

"All comments do not have a bad effect on me and all of them have a good impact. So, I learn from mistakes and from what they say. If I am involved in the next project, I will discuss it in more detail because I don't want to go through the experience of being accused of getting everything wrong. Thank you for all your words because they have a good impact on me," he said.
Jazmy's remarks came after some social media users criticized his acting in the drama "Yes! Captain Zul Aaryan" as slightly awkward. The drama itself has achieved significant success, garnering 1.06 billion social media reach (Meltwater) and 9.5 million TV viewers (Nielsen), topping the charts on iQIYI.
