  • Actress Atikah Suhaime expressed gratitude after her father-in-law granted permission for her family to move into their own home.
  • While dreaming of independent living since marriage, she felt conflicted about leaving the comfort of living with her in-laws.
  • The move is motivated by a desire to provide a more suitable living space for her growing daughter, Lyla Mulan Teh.

Actress Datin Atikah Suhaime has shared her feelings of gratitude and a touch of apprehension as her father-in-law has finally granted permission for her to move into a separate home with her husband, Datuk Lokman Teh, and their young daughter, Lyla Mulan Teh.

Finally, father-in-law allowed us to move into our own house with my husband. I should be happy because this is what I've wanted since getting married, to have a minimalist house and all, but why am I conflicted?

— Atikah SuhaimeThe actress expressed her mixed feelings about moving into her own home after receiving permission from her father-in-law.

Although establishing an independent household has been a long-held dream since her marriage, Atikah admitted to feeling a sense of hesitation about embarking on this new phase of life. She described the experience of living with her in-laws as "heavenly" due to the reduced burden of household management. "I feel nervous about being independent with my husband. But I believe we can do it," she stated.

The primary motivation behind the move is to provide a more comfortable and personalized living environment for her daughter, Lyla Mulan Teh, who is growing up. Atikah explained that the current home, shared with 10 family members, lacks sufficient space and privacy for her daughter's needs. "I'm moving because Mulan is growing up. She needs her own room. There are 10 people in my in-laws' house. There's no more space," she elaborated.

Actually, living with my in-laws is the most heavenly (fun), you don't have to think about everything. I feel nervous about being independent with my husband. But I believe we can do it.

Since her marriage, the actress had frequently shared moments of her enjoying life with her extended family, including preparing meals for everyone, highlighting her previously comfortable integration into her in-laws' household.

I'm moving because Mulan is growing up. She needs her own room. There are 10 people in my in-laws' house. There's no more space.
