Malaysian actress and host Tash Yong has revealed that she has had to decline acting opportunities due to significant health challenges experienced after the birth of her first child. The 36-year-old, whose full name is Nur Natasha Shazlia Rosli, disclosed that she is suffering from slip disc and hip displacement.
Yong expressed concern that these conditions would compromise her ability to fully commit to the demands of a film set. She admitted to feeling apprehensive about returning to work in the near future, as her physical health has not yet fully recovered. "Honestly, there have been offers, but I had to turn them down because I'm still dealing with health issues after giving birth," she stated.
The actress detailed the ongoing recovery process, noting that she is still working towards healing. "After giving birth, I experienced slip disc and hip displacement, and I'm still in the process of recovering. To be frank, I'm quite scared," she confessed. Yong fears that resuming work prematurely could lead to an inability to perform her duties effectively, potentially inconveniencing others involved in the production.
She plans to return to acting and hosting only when she is completely healthy and ready. For now, Tash Yong is focusing on her personal recovery and her son's development. "That's why I want to ensure I'm fully recovered first, then I'll be brave enough to accept any offers, especially in acting and hosting, which is my world," she said. As a new mother, she is dedicating her time to learning and managing the responsibilities that come with raising her first child.
