Actress Nabila Huda admits she is growing tired of her blonde hair, which she adopted for her role in the upcoming Viu Originals drama series 'Cela'. While fans have embraced her new look, Nabila is eager to dye her hair black again as soon as filming wraps up.
"I know many people like this look, but I myself don't like it anymore. Every time I look in the mirror, I just want to quickly dye my hair back to black," Nabila said. She finds the appearance unusual, attributing the public's strong reaction to not having seen her with this hair color in a long time.
I know many people like this look, but I myself don't like it anymore. Every time I look in the mirror, I just want to quickly dye my hair back to black.
However, Nabila emphasized that the blonde hair is exclusive to her character, Datuk Anees, and cannot be used for any other projects. The change was meticulously planned to bring the character to life, aiming for a look that was different from her usual black-haired roles, yet still appeared simple and not overly flashy.
"I wanted a change for the character of Datuk Anees because most of my previous roles had black hair. I wanted to look different, but still appear simple and not too flashy," she explained. Nabila also aimed to avoid a stereotypical portrayal of a Datuk. She envisioned the character as older, with graying hair, which she then dyed blonde to maintain a stylish, modern, and youthful appearance despite her age. This concept was developed in collaboration with the director and producer.
