Dr. Samsiah Mohd. Nor, the mother of Malaysian actress and singer Daiyan Trisha, has clarified that her daughter is not materialistic and does not consider wealth a primary criterion when selecting a potential husband. Samsiah, 61, stated that among her five children, Daiyan is the least fussy about choosing a partner.
Daiyan is actually very approachable and the least picky among the five siblings.
"Daiyan is actually very approachable and the least picky among the five siblings," Samsiah said during an interview for the drama 'Anom Suraya.' She recalled joking with her children about their choices in the past, acknowledging that sometimes their selections were unexpected. "I said, it's okay, it's up to her. She will know what is lacking herself. For example, she is fast-paced, but chooses someone slow. Then the man won't be able to keep up," she explained.
Samsiah emphasized that Daiyan is not looking for a wealthy man. "Daiyan is not like that. She really doesn't care. That's why we always joke because sometimes her choices are indeed funny. But that was when she was still in school," she added. She hopes Daiyan finds a partner who is compatible with her life's rhythm, someone who can "keep up" rather than be left behind.

Regarding Daiyan's marital status, Samsiah stated she does not pressure her daughter to marry soon, believing that finding a spouse is a matter of divine destiny. "As for her soulmate, I don't pay too much attention. I just pray for the best for her. If it hasn't happened, it means the time isn't right yet," she said, drawing a parallel to her novel 'Anom Suraya,' which was adapted into a drama after 34 years. "So we just follow what Allah has decreed. No need to overthink it," she concluded.
