Two major changes occurred in Indonesian actress-singer Olla Ramlan’s life in 2025, which makes her Hari Raya this year a little different from the past.
“This is my first Syawal without my mother,” the 46-year-old says of her mum, who passed away on Oct 12, 2025.
But the youthful-looking Olla –with 20.7 million followers on Instagram – is quick to share that she still has her stepmum and many siblings to celebrate the special day with.
“My late father married three women after each of his divorces, so I have 11 siblings from three different mothers.
“Hari Raya gatherings are usually a large affair at our homes, with maybe 30 people coming together, as each of us now has our own families as well,” adds Olla, who has one son and two daughters from her marriage, which ended in divorce in 2010.
Another major change in Olla’s life is her new romance – she is currently said to be dating actor-model Tristan Molina, who is reportedly 20 years old.
His nationality is also unconfirmed, though one report says he is French-Malaysian.
The two met while starring in the 2025 Indonesian series Secret High School.
When asked whether Tristan is ready to meet the extended family on the first day of Syawal, Olla coyly says: “Even before Hari Raya, he has met the family and knows them. So it’s just another family outing day for him.”
Olla – who is starring in Walid, a Malaysian-Indonesian production streaming on Viu since March 6 – goes on to say that all 11 siblings take turns hosting the Hari Raya festivities.
“This year, my younger sister is the host. When we are the host, we have to do everything.
“But this year, all I have to do is just turn up and look beautiful.”
As for the Raya spread, it usually centres around food from her birthplace – Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
“So usually we cook dishes that you don’t find in Jakarta, traditional Banjarmasin food,” shares Olla, whose must-have dish is Soto Banjar, a traditional chicken soup from her hometown.
