ACTRESS Wafariena Roslan has denied allegations that she underwent surgery to achieve a body shape similar to that of beauty mogul Kim Kardashian, Kosmo! reported.
According to the 31-year-old, the noticeable change in her physique is the result of years of consistent exercise rather than cosmetic procedures.
“I deny it, there was no surgery at all. Honestly, even during the fasting month, I continue to work out.
“After tarawih prayers, I exercise for one or two hours. As for my face, there have been no surgical procedures except for a skin booster to maintain my skin,” she said.
The actress, known for her role in the drama series 7 Hari Mencintaiku 2, admitted that she admires Kardashian’s body shape, which serves as a motivation for her to remain disciplined in her fitness routine.
> Meanwhile in a separate report, Kosmo! highlighted the determination of a disabled man who climbs coconut trees to tap for nectar despite losing the use of his right leg in an accident seven years ago.
Ibrahim Mamat, 44, from Kampung Banggol Katong, Kuala Terengganu, said demand for the sweet coconut sap increases during Ramadan, allowing him to earn up to RM6,000 a month.
“I once lost hope after suffering permanent disability following a road accident in 2019.
“However, for the sake of my family’s livelihood, I made a comeback about two years ago when I realised there were around 20 coconut trees around my home that could be tapped for nira (nectar) to sell,” he said.
