I want a soulmate with a similar mindset - Sharmaine Alexander

Malaysian actress and former Dewi Remaja contestant Sharmaine Alexander, 26, has outlined her criteria for a life partner, prioritizing a shared mindset and ambition above all else.

Alexander clarified that 'sekufu,' meaning compatible or like-minded, extends beyond professional alignment. She seeks a partner who shares similar aspirations and a strong drive in life. While she acknowledges that a partner's career, whether in the arts or a different field, is not a primary concern, she stresses the importance of having parallel life directions.

“

Whether a partner works in the same industry or has a different career doesn't really matter to me. It depends on the circumstances, as we can't predict matters of the heart. However, if I do find a partner, I want someone who is compatible and on the same level.

Given her own ambitious nature, Alexander expects her future partner to be equally driven and hardworking. She also indicated that at her current age, her focus remains on strengthening her career. Marriage and finding a life partner are not immediate priorities, as she believes she is still young and needs to establish her name in the industry first.

For now, finding a life partner or getting married is not my priority in the near future. I feel I am still young and need to strengthen my name in my career first.
