Malaysian artiste Bella Astillah has accused fellow actress Ruhainies of lying to her and having an affair with her Singaporean husband, actor Aliff Aziz.
In an interview with local press on April 3, Bella, 30, claimed to have evidence of Aliff, 33, visiting Ruhainies’ home in Pavilion Suites Kuala Lumpur more than eight times.
“The car Aliff drove was a gift from me. Every single car under my name is equipped with a Global Tracking System (GPS),” she said before adding, “I didn’t install it to track Aliff’s every move. I believe everyone who’s scared of losing their car would install one.”
Bella – whose real name is Dayang Ara Nabellah Awang Astillah – also claimed to have proof of Aliff and Ruhainies, 31, having “inappropriate” conversations with one another.
The actress said she obtained the evidence by hiding a recorder in the car.
“I’m too embarrassed to share more about it, but they talked about a lot of nasty things,” she said, adding that the recording will be used in court as evidence.
According to Bella, Aliff had “changed” ever since he started working with Ruhainies for the upcoming drama Terjerat.
Despite receiving word from the production team that Aliff and Ruhainies had something going on between them, Bella refused to believe the rumours as she considered Ruhainies to be a good friend.
But when she finally decided to check the GPS logs, Bella discovered that Aliff had been frequenting Ruhainies’ house.
“When I saw Aliff at Pavilion Suites, I called Ruhainies and she pretended to be surprised. Ruhainies said she didn’t know, but when I checked Aliff’s location, they were together.
“She also lied to me about staying at the Four Seasons. If she was my friend, why would she lie?” she lamented.
Bella also gave a warning to Ruhainies, saying that karma will come for her someday.
"To Ruhainies, thank you very much. Because of you, my children have lost their father. Thank you also Aliff for being so willing to lie to make it look like you’re innocent.
“Ruhainies, you have never been married, never been a wife, never been a mother. Remember this, one day you will feel what I felt,” she said.
Bella, who married Aliff in 2016, filed for a divorce from the Singaporean on March 11.
Her decision came two days after authorities from the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) nabbed Aliff and Ruhainies at a condominium in KL for suspected khalwat (close proximity).
Bella recently claimed that Aliff planned to divorce her in February as he no longer had feelings for her.
But during divorce proceedings at the Federal Territory Lower Syariah Court on April 4, Aliff refused to divorce Bella as he “still loves her”.
This is the second time Bella has filed for a divorce.
Bella and Aliff, who share two children, divorced in 2019 after he was accused of cheating on her but reconciled in 2020.
