> Neelofa has put her foot down amid a war of words online over her upcoming brand of henna and those of her fellow celebrities, Utusan Malaysia reported.
The popular entertainer-cum-entrepreneur has called on social media users to end the “war” and place their faith in God.
“There is no need to burden your head, hands and mouth to do such things (fight) because God has determined the sustenance of each of His servants in every matter.
“We want to find sustenance in a good way without having to curse, criticise or fight,” said Neelofa, who is married to well-known preacher PU Riz.
Speaking to the media at an event at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur recently, the 33-year-old added that she does not intend to compete with or prevent any other brand from getting into the same business as her.
She also said she is not sure why many people try to compare her with her artiste friends.
“In business, we make things like clothes, hijab and so on.
“We are here not to compete with each other but to do business.
“God’s provision is vast. Everyone has their own way, their own fortune,” she said.
