My claim that I am no longer interested in acting is untrue - Raja Afiq

Actor Raja Afiq has firmly denied circulating rumors suggesting he has lost interest in pursuing his acting career. The 32-year-old star expressed disappointment over the claims, which emerged from a TikTok post, stating they surfaced precisely when he is actively planning a professional resurgence with a new management team.

“

The claims are not true. I just finished filming the movie Black Ops: Operasi Serigala in May and am now focusing on physical preparation to ensure I look good on camera.

"The claims are not true," Raja Afiq told Utusan Malaysia. "I just finished filming the movie Black Ops: Operasi Serigala in May and am now focusing on physical preparation to ensure I look good on camera.

Afiq, who previously gained popularity for his role in the drama "Sayangku Kapten Mukhriz," explained that his recent absence from television should not be misinterpreted as a departure from the industry. He and his new management have been discussing career strategies and schedules, making the unfounded rumors particularly ill-timed.

But when I haven't been on television for a long time, some people assume I'm no longer interested in acting.

"My management is also arranging meetings with several product founders for collaborations, so it's highly inappropriate for such stories to emerge when I'm enthusiastic about strengthening my career," he added. Raja Afiq emphasized that he has not disappeared but rather slowed down to focus on improving his health, fitness, and mental readiness for a full commitment to acting.
