SHAH ALAM: “Acting is easy but getting married for real makes me nervous. I couldn’t sleep last night,” said legendary actor Aziz Sattar, 81, after marrying 48-year-old Hashimah Delan yesterday. 

The solemnisation ceremony was held at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque here at 11.30am with actress Betty Benafe as the bridesmaid and singer Nash the best man. 

The actor and Hashimah arrived for the ceremony about an hour earlier wearing white, accompanied by family members and friends. 

The solemnisation was conducted by marriage assistant registrar Khairuddin Haiyon and witnessed by the Sultan of Selangor’s younger brother, Tengku Panglima Diraja Sulaiman Shah, and actor Datuk Ismail Hutson. 

Aziz gave Hashimah a RM100 dowry and seven trays of gifts with another RM5,000 in cash while she gave him five trays of gifts in return. 

About 1,000 guests attended the ceremony including veteran artistes Datuk Sarimah Ibrahim, Yusni Jaafar, Datuk Jamil Sulong, Rosnani Jamil and Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros. 

The newlyweds told the press later that they thanked everybody especially their family members who had given their full support to them in their decision to get married. 

Aziz said he knew Hashimah through his children, who had hoped their father would have a life partner. 

Hashimah said she met Aziz for the first time when attending a function hosted by him in Kuala Lumpur a year ago. 

However, she had not expected to get hitched to the legendary film star. 

The couple plans to go to Langkawi for their honeymoon. –Bernama
