Local actress Moon Nila, who has been recognised in the Malaysia Book of Records for playing the "most number of roles in a single drama series", aims to inspire young talents by showing them that they need not take on sultry or sensual roles to succeed in the film industry.

The Melaka-born former nurse believes that while female objectification and sexualisation still exists in the industry, women who hold strong to their values and modesty can still go far through dedication, hardwork and dignity.
