ACTRESS Zara Zya (pic) says her nose has not changed despite repeated claims that she has undergone cosmetic surgery, Kosmo! reported.
Zara, whose real name is Zainurul Razia Mohd Zainuddin, 40, said she hired professional makeup artists to create looks suited for different occasions, with heavier makeup often used for events.
She added that makeup shading could make her nose appear sharper.
“Whenever there is an event, the makeup will usually be heavier according to the occasion,” she said in a post on Threads.
“Once the makeup is done, the face changes a little. My nose has always been the same. It looks sharper because of shading.”
She, however, admitted to receiving vitamin injections to help maintain youthful-looking skin.
> A university place is within reach for 20-year-old Nur Jannatul Sofea Rusdi, but without a laptop and funds for basic expenses that dream could be derailed, Harian Metro reported.
The student from Kampung Pantai Geting, Tumpat, Kelantan, has been offered a place to study building surveying at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Shah Alam, Selangor, and is due to register on Sept 23.
She said she had just paid the RM798 registration fee with assistance from the Kelantan Development Office but still needed a laptop, which is required for her course.
“I almost rejected the offer at first at my parents’ request because we had exhausted all avenues trying to raise money for my university needs. However, relatives and neighbours urged us to accept it for my future and also gave us some donations to ease our burden,” she said.
The sixth of seven siblings said she was determined to pursue higher education as she was the only child in the family to receive a university offer.
Her mother, Hasnah Salleh, 58, said the family’s main concerns now were getting Sofea a laptop and covering the cost of sending her to Shah Alam, as her father, Rusdi Amjah, 63, has an irregular income and the family does not own a vehicle.
