  • Actress Nurel Baharin denies rumors that her fiancé is from a wealthy family, stating he comes from a modest background and is a businessman.
  • The couple plans to marry in the coming weeks, with Nurel expressing surprise at marrying young but feeling confident in her fiancé's character and his ability to gain her family's approval.
  • Nurel emphasized that her fiancé supports her acting career and does not impose restrictions on her work.

Actress Nurel Baharin has refuted claims that her fiancé hails from a wealthy family, clarifying that he comes from a humble background and is a businessman. The 23-year-old shared that contrary to public speculation, her partner leads a modest life, emphasizing her own ordinary upbringing. "It's not true what people are saying. Go and see my house in the village. I am just an ordinary person," she stated.

Nurel, who is set to marry in the coming weeks, admitted she never anticipated tying the knot before turning 30. She attributes this to meeting a man she describes as both kind and firm, who proactively engaged with her family. "This marriage is my biggest blessing this year," she said, noting the supportive nature of her future in-laws and her parents' understanding of her desire to marry young.

Her fiancé successfully convinced her parents, who initially hoped she would marry later, of his intentions. Nurel revealed that their courtship was brief, lasting only a year before they decided to marry, with their engagement ceremony held in November last year. She was particularly touched by his earnest efforts to gain her family's blessing, highlighting his direct approach in meeting her mother and siblings shortly after they met.

Addressing concerns about her career, Nurel assured that her upcoming marriage would not affect her work as an actress. Her fiancé, she stated, is fully supportive of her profession and has no intention of asking her to quit. "He wants me to continue working and doesn't want me to stop. He wants a wife who has her own career," Nurel explained, adding that discussions about children and family planning can be addressed later as he understands her acting career.
