I support Fasha Sandha, her open criticism is perhaps justified - Elisya Sandha

Actress Elisya Sandha has voiced her support for her sister, Fasha Sandha, who publicly called out actors for their persistent lateness on filming sets. Elisya believes her sister's open criticism on social media likely followed unsuccessful private attempts to address the issue.

"I think what my sister did is the right thing because we need to respect other people's time," Elisya stated. "We cannot just arrive at 10 a.m. if the call time is 8 a.m. That is very rude." She added that she learned from Fasha the importance of always adhering to filming schedules, regardless of personal circumstances like having many children.

Elisya, who attended the press conference for the new iQIYI drama "Madu Atau Racun," admitted to facing similar situations repeatedly. However, she typically opts for private conversations rather than public social media posts. "I've been through that many times, but I feel my voice isn't loud enough to speak on social media," she explained. "So, if someone is always late, I will go to them personally and ask why."

She noted that while she tries to understand and discuss the reasons for lateness, such as personal matters, Fasha's decision to go public suggests that her private warnings were ineffective. Elisya also mentioned her own tendency to get upset if forced to wait too long, but people understand her reaction because she respects their time, and they, in turn, respect hers. The delay caused by late actors can disrupt the emotions of other performers and extend shooting hours significantly.

Despite encountering actors who are indifferent to being corrected, Elisya remains firm in speaking out for the collective good. "Some artists, after being told off, act like 'who are you to tell me off,' but others explain their situation, and I try to understand," she said. "The important thing is that I have told them that being late to set is wrong." She stressed the need to respect everyone's time, including directors and crew members, who are often the most sleep-deprived and have to pack up equipment after filming concludes.
