Ummi Nazeera was only 17 when she made her acting debut in RTM drama Pesona Bintang. After that, she has been playing “kampung girl” roles in hit series like Takdir Yang Terindah and Dinasti Bilut. She has also starred in a similar capacity in notable stage productions like Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa and Penanggal.

Now the 27-year-old actress is looking to break away from the very role that has made her a much sought-after talent in the local entertainment industry.
