KUALA LUMPUR: As her wedding approaches, singer-actress Bella Astillah sought marriage wisdom from former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife, Tun Dr Hasmah Mohamad Ali. The 32-year-old singer expressed her desire to learn from the couple's 70-year marriage and the challenges they overcame. In a post on social media platform Threads, Bella revealed that she was deeply moved by seeing Mahathir and Hasmah together for decades.
She noted that while people often discuss falling in love, there is less focus on maintaining love over time, especially as individuals age, face hardships, and the world changes around them. Bella attributed a lasting marriage to patience, compromise, forgiveness, and understanding. She expressed her hope to spend the rest of her life with Syed Saddiq, praying that even in their grey hair and slower steps, they would remain by each other's side. Bella and Syed Saddiq confirmed their intention to marry on October 10.
