KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — “I would like to stress that there is no other woman in my life, as alleged and spread on social media,” said actor Fattah Amin.
That was his response to allegations that his infidelity was what led to actress-wife Nur Fazura Sharifuddin, filing for divorce yesterday at the Petaling Lower Syariah Court in Subang Bestari, Shah Alam.
“Honestly, I only found out about her filing for divorce from social media, especially when it went viral.
“I am shocked and saddened by the news.”
He asked for everyone to pray for both of them and for their marital woes to be resolved calmly.
“I also hope no other parties will interfere and make the situation worse," he told Harian Metro.
