#SHOWBIZ: Veteran actor AR Badul reclaims the spotlight on TikTok
KUALA LUMPUR: The entertainment world may have changed completely over the years, but veteran actor and director AR Badul is proving that age is no barrier to staying connected with his audience.
Veteran Malaysian actor and director AR Badul, 76, is making a comeback in the digital age by utilizing TikTok to reconnect with his youthful fans. Armaya Aman Ramlie, who rose to fame through classic films, views the app as a personal television station, allowing him to engage directly with viewers who fondly recall his early work.
Despite some trolls questioning his relevance, AR Badul remains unfazed, responding to their ageist remarks with humor and dismissing their concerns. He candidly shares his financial generosity, promising to donate part of any earnings to buskers and the underprivileged. Recently, AR Badul starred in a patriotic short drama, "Surat Khabar Lama," celebrating veteran artists and cultural values at Malaysia's 69th National Day celebrations.
