Actress Siti Khadijah Halim refutes claims of arrogance

Actress Siti Khadijah Halim has directly addressed persistent rumors painting her as arrogant and evasive of the media. In a recent interview, she clarified that her refusal to take photos with fans only occurs under one circumstance: "when I am dead."

“

I am not like what has been said, and I am only arrogant when I refuse requests from fans to take pictures with me when I am dead.

Halim stated that she readily accommodates requests for photos from fans in various settings, even in front of restrooms. She challenged those who label her as arrogant, questioning if their dislike predates her career or if they are deliberately fabricating narratives to damage her image. "It's rather funny when some people consider me arrogant," she remarked, adding that those around her can attest to her dedication to her fans.

“

I still entertain anyone who wants to take a photo with me, anywhere, including in front of the toilet and so on. Ask the people around me. I dare to admit that I am diligent in entertaining my fans.

The actress also touched upon the pressures of fame, particularly the online criticism she faces. She acknowledged that while some netizens "bark" at celebrities, expecting them to endure all criticism because they chose a public life, artists are still human beings with emotions. "If society had high empathy, they would realize that artists are also humans with hearts and feelings," she stated.

“

So, it's rather funny when some people consider me arrogant. Did the people who said that dislike me from the beginning? Or did they deliberately fabricate that narrative to tarnish my image?

Halim expressed her love for acting and her readiness to entertain the public, likening it to a surrender to her profession. However, she stressed that this surrender does not extend to accepting baseless accusations, slander, and false stories. She concluded by acknowledging the cliché but undeniable truth that "I cannot please everyone."

There are netizens who bark, telling anyone who is an actor or singer to face all the criticisms thrown at them because they agreed to be famous.
