Nelissa Nizam on the mend after ovarian surgery

Actress Nelissa Nizam is making a strong recovery following surgery to remove an ovarian cyst from a private hospital in the capital late last month. The 28-year-old artiste, whose full name is Nelissa Edreena Nizam, revealed that the cause of the cyst remains uncertain, though she suspects it could be due to hormonal changes or an intense work schedule.

Upon visiting a doctor for a routine check-up, she was informed that the cyst was quite large and required removal. The doctor advised her to rest at home for a duration of three weeks post-surgery.

This recovery period has led to Nelissa having to decline a film role in the movie "Impak Maksima 2 2". She disclosed that she is unable to engage in physical activities or rigorous workouts during this time. Despite this setback, Nelissa is scheduled to appear in a major drama project in September, which has not yet been given a title.

Her acceptance of the role is based on the fact that it does not involve action scenes and allows her to portray a villain once again. The scriptwriter has noted her affinity for playing evil characters, as she often finds herself in perpetual crying roles with good-natured roles.
