Despite being involved in the entertainment industry, Daphne Iking wants to let her two daughters (Isobel, right and Iman) know that looks are not the be-all and end-all of things. Photos: The Star/Shaari Chemat

Daphne Iking is trying to get her daughter, Iman, to smile for the camera but the three-year-old isn’t in the mood to play along. After some coaxing, the little girl flashed her pearly whites for several seconds, before turning away to sulk.

“She’s upset because I forced her to put on a hair clip for the photoshoot when she didn’t feel like it,” explains Iking. “But it occurred to me that I was being selfish. I’m so used to playing TV actress that sometimes I forget I’m a mum.”
