Singer, actress, and entrepreneur Daiyan Trisha has shared insights into her romantic life, revealing that she has introduced a significant other to her mother. The most recent such introduction took place last year. While past relationships haven't culminated in marriage, Daiyan, whose full name is Daiyan Trisha Mohd Nasaruddin, 32, expressed that she doesn't feel pressured about finding a spouse. Her parents, too, have not imposed any urgency on her to end her single status.

Efforts towards that (marriage) are there, I once brought him to meet mommy some time ago. Most recently too, but the most recent I mean last year.

Daiyan's mother, Dr. Samsiah Mohd Nor, understands her daughter's independent nature and career focus. "I told Daiyan, you have a career and know how to take care of yourself. In the past, people didn't have the opportunity for further education, so aging parents wanted to hand their child over to someone trustworthy," Dr. Samsiah explained. "But nowadays, women are smarter, more capable, and have careers. So parents aren't as worried. That's why my husband and I have never put any pressure on Daiyan."

Her mother added that if marriage hasn't happened yet, it's because it's not the right time, and when it does, it will be meant to be. "There's no point in stressing about it. We just have to trust in Allah," she said. Daiyan herself stated that wealth is not a primary criterion for her in choosing a partner. If she feels a connection, she will pursue the relationship, describing herself as approachable.

But nowadays, women are smarter, more capable, and have careers. So parents aren't as worried. That's why my husband and I have never put any pressure on Daiyan.

โ€” Dr. Samsiah Mohd NorReflecting on changing societal expectations for women and parental pressure.

However, as she enters her 30s, Daiyan has become more selective about who she considers a friend. She relies heavily on her intuition to sense negative feelings from others and has even blocked individuals on social media to distance herself from discomfort. "I believe friends influence our minds and emotions. So, this helps me not to think about those people. Because if someone is full of negative energy, they will drain our positive energy," she explained.

If there isn't one yet, it means that's the best. If the time comes to get married, it means it's time. But it doesn't mean everything stops just because you're married. I am open and accept when Daiyan finds her soulmate because I believe in Allah. Why worry?

โ€” Dr. Samsiah Mohd NorExpressing her views on marriage and destiny.
