#SHOWBIZ: Elisya Sandha moved by supportive messages amid 'Madu Atau Racun' backlash
PETALING JAYA: Actress Elisya Sandha has been moved by an outpouring of supportive messages from strangers whilst facing backlash over the controversial drama series Madu Atau Racun.
Pahang-based actress Elisya Sandha has been heartened by a flood of supportive messages from strangers while facing backlash over the controversial drama series Madu Atau Racun. The 27-year-old artiste took to social media to share that the unexpected kindness from strangers meant the world to her. She expressed her gratitude for the messages of support and understanding she received from people she did not know.
Her post was accompanied by a photo of her red eyes after enduring days of public criticism, but she maintained a gentle smile and flashed a peace sign, pairing it with Dewa 19's song Hadapi Dengan Senyuman (Face It With a Smile). She added: "May everything be made easier for all of us." The drama, produced by Metrowealth International Group (MIG) and starring Aliff Aziz and Uqasha Senrose, generated intense public outrage over scenes that reportedly featured LGBTQ themes unsuitable for public viewing.
In response, MIG issued a public apology, and the National Film Development Corporation (Finas) ordered all 12 episodes to be re-edited and reviewed by an evaluation panel. The six episodes already available on streaming platform iQIYI have been temporarily removed pending final clearance.
