  "account": "Actress Diana Danielle has expressed her openness to her children, Muhammad and Aurora, pursuing careers in showbiz, provided they follow the necessary guidelines. Speaking at a screening for the series Bisikan Pontianak, the 36-year-old artiste stressed that entering the entertainment industry demands hard work, a keen intellect, and strict professionalism. Quality script selection is crucial for longevity, and public backlash should be avoided by demonstrating cleverness and using one's brain in acting. Diana believes that as long as her children have determination, maintain proper etiquette, and exhibit professionalism on set, they will be fine. While she initially had reservations, Diana supports her children's authentic passions, though she refuses to give them shortcuts and insists they experience auditions and the reality of film sets firsthand. If she had her way, she would prefer her children not to be in the industry, but they have shown a keen interest. Diana acknowledges potential claims of nepotism but remains unfazed, believing that talent and work ethic will determine their success. Even if she helps them along the way, their ultimate staying power will depend on their own performance and proving they deserve to be in this field. Diana's 11-year-old daughter, Aurora, recently made her acting debut in the Unifi Original drama Bisikan Pontianak, sharing the screen with notable actors Datuk Remy Ishak, Nadia Brian, and Kazar Saisi.",
