KUALA LUMPUR: Filled with joy for Bella Astillah and Syed Saddiq following their wedding, actress Nadia Brian admitted that the couple's heartwarming nuptials have renewed her faith in true love and reignited her hopes of finding happiness herself.
Nadia, 35, remarked that everyone's romantic journey is unique and said past heartbreak should never be a reason to close one's heart to new beginnings.
"Seeing Bella Astillah and Syed Saddiq get married made me believe that true love really does exist. There are still good, responsible men out there who can make their partners genuinely happy," she said in a recent news report.
"Some of us may be unlucky in love, but that doesn't mean we are destined to fail forever. There is always a rainbow after the rain—it's just a matter of time.
"Most importantly, as women, we must know our self-worth, continually improve ourselves, and work on our shortcomings. God willing, good things will come at the right time."
The Bisik Asmara star added that life's trials and failed relationships should be seen as valuable lessons that help shape a person into someone who is more mature, resilient, and wiser when choosing a partner.
She noted that seeing her friends happy gives her the encouragement to keep trusting in life's plan, even if she has yet to meet her own soulmate.
"I also hope that one day I'll be blessed with happiness and meet the right partner—a man who can guide, nurture, and complement me," she shared.
"Seeing my friends happy gives me hope that God has written the best story for each of us. What matters most is that we never lose faith in goodness and love."
On Saturday morning, the popular couple—affectionately dubbed 'BASS' by fans—officially tied the knot in a deeply meaningful ceremony at around 10.40 am.
During the ceremony, Syed Saddiq presented seven hantaran (wedding gift trays) to Bella, while the bride reciprocated with nine trays.
Among the standout gifts that caught the public's attention were a custom gold ornament shaped like Mount Kinabalu, an Umrah pilgrimage package, an EPF (Employees Provident Fund) contribution of RM100,000, and a bicycle.
