#SHOWBIZ: Uqasha Senrose slams backlash targeting her faith, daughter over 'Madu Atau Racun'

KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Uqasha Senrose has spoken out against the negative reaction to her role in the drama Madu Atau Racun. The actress took to Instagram to express her disappointment over the hostility surrounding the show after critics took the online backlash personally. Uqasha urged viewers to refrain from making premature judgments based on edited, out-of-context clips that were circulating on social media.

She emphasized that viewers are only seeing a portion of the story and advised them to watch until the final episode before forming an opinion. Uqasha was particularly upset about the invasion of her personal beliefs, questioning why anyone would doubt her faith in Islam and bring her young daughter into the controversy. She stated that those judging the series may not be watching the full story, but rather just the snippets they see on their FYP.

The backlash began after Madu Atau Racun, which stars Uqasha alongside Aliff Aziz and Elisya Sandha, featured scenes that dealt with controversial LGBTQ-related themes. The 12-episode drama explores the emotional consequences of polygamy, with Uqasha playing the role of Azura, a devoted wife who is struggling with domestic perfection.

When her husband Adli (Aliff) plans to take Nikita (Elisya) as a second wife, tensions rise as both women are forced to live together, leading to a major crisis.
