CELEBRITY TV host and entrepreneur Neelofa shared that she fell in love with preacher Muhammad Haris Mohd Ismail or PU Riz when he was the terawih prayer imam at her family home in 2020, Harian Metro reported.
Neelofa, 33, whose real name is Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor, in a programme broadcast said that PU Riz was the last person to be called as the other preachers were not available.
“We’ve worked together several times. I thought he was handsome.
“In the fasting month during Covid-19 in 2020, I looked for an imam to conduct terawih prayer at home.
“However, many preachers were unavailable. Finally, I thought since I’ve worked with PU Riz, I would just call him,” she said.
Through the recording uploaded by TikTok users, PU Riz looked embarrassed and interrupted several times when his wife shared the sweet moment.
“Stories like these are embarrassing, just sharing a bit will do,” he quipped.
Neelofa and PU Riz were married on March 27 last year and welcomed their first son Muhammad Bilal on Jan 29, 2022.
