ACTRESS and singer Bella Astillah claims that her husband, Aliff Aziz, had cheated on her 11 times, including having a relationship with her sister, Berita Harian reported.

Bella, whose real name is Dayang Ara Nabellah Awang Astillah, claimed she has full evidence of her husband’s infidelity.

“People know that Aliff cheated only four or five times, but actually, it was 11 times.

“I have proof and Aliff knows all this. After Aliff was caught, I did not give any statement because I was surprised that some slandered me and accused me of setting up a trap.

“As many know, I have three sisters. Aliff once cheated on me with my sister.

“She also accompanied Aliff to Gegar Vaganza,” Bella said, adding that her family had kept it a secret.

“Because of my love for Aliff, I left my own family. I regret that I dumped my sister, and not Aliff,” she added.

Bella also said that Aliff does not come home and she has to deal with such matters alone, including his khalwat case with Ruhainies.

> While most people are with their families to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri, a senior citizen in Kelantan has accepted her fate of celebrating the festival in an Islamic commune, Harian Metro reported.

Suriani Saad, 64, has lived in Pondok Tahfiz Darul Naim, Padang Kala, for the past 12 years.

Suriani said she felt sad during Hari Raya when she first moved there.

“I made the decision to live here 12 years ago and initially, every Hari Raya, I cried because many of my friends had gone home for the holidays and only a few remained.

“After a few years, I was able to accept the situation, and my friends became my family considering that I have only one brother who lives in Thailand,” she said, adding that she now celebrates Hari Raya in a simple way.

“Sometimes, my adopted nieces and nephews will come to celebrate Hari Raya as they know I am alone,” she said, adding that visitors also come to share their meals with her.

Suriani said she previously ran a restaurant with her adopted sister and lived in Kampung Seberang Salor, before stopping and deciding to move there.

“I get RM500 monthly assistance from the Welfare Department and many people have come forward to help,” she said.
