A playful mother-daughter moment has captured the attention of Indonesian netizens, blending a popular makeup trend with beloved comedic characters. Uti, the young daughter of actress Nycta Gina and her husband Rizky Kinos, took on the vibrant and accessory-heavy Naykilla makeup challenge.

Uti's interpretation of the Naykilla look featured striking green eyeshadow, red eyebrows, and soft pink lipstick, complemented by a cascade of colorful hair ribbons, glittery face stickers, and layered necklaces and bracelets. She wore a soft rainbow-gradient outfit, embodying a sweet and cheerful aesthetic.

I swear this was 100% Uti's idea. I just went along with it.

Adding a humorous twist, Nycta Gina joined her daughter's video, transforming into her iconic Jeng Kelin character. Complete with Jeng Kelin's signature pink and white dress, a large brown bag, a short black wig, and bold red makeup, Gina's appearance created a comical juxtaposition with Uti's trendy look.

The video, initially featuring Uti lip-syncing to a Naykilla trend song, took an unexpected turn when Gina, as Jeng Kelin, interrupted. The resulting confusion between Uti asking who Jeng Kelin was and Jeng Kelin herself being bewildered generated significant amusement. The clip quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of likes, with comments expressing a strong sense of nostalgia for the Jeng Kelin character, a role that consistently brought laughter to audiences.

I really miss Jeng Kelin.
