#NSTviral: Brothers crash wedding and leave with full hearts [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: What began as an impromptu stop turned into a heartwarming reminder of Malaysian warmth and unity, when two brothers were welcomed as guests at a stranger's wedding. While en route to Seremban, Negri Sembilan, brothers Devaraj David and Devadass David noticed a Malay wedding taking place nearby and decided to stop to have a look. Without an invitation and knowing no one at the event, they stood tentatively at the entrance. To their surprise, a man stationed at the gate welcomed them without hesitation and invited them to join the feast. A relative of the bride and groom later approached the brothers and asked if they were related to anyone at the celebration. "We actually don't know anyone here. We were just passing by and saw the celebration," Devaraj replied. The relative then asked why they weren't eating, to which the brothers laughed, saying that the warm welcome had already filled their hearts. "I came in uninvited, and yet everyone welcomed us. That alone made us feel full," said Devaraj. In the video, he also admitted he had initially been worried they would be asked to leave the wedding. "I thought someone might punch me. But instead, everyone welcomed us with open arms," he said. Before departing, the brothers met the bride and groom, offered their blessings, and even requested a Tamil song to be played in honour of the couple. "The song is a wish for them to live happily together for a hundred years. "We came uninvited, but we left with full hearts, feeling loved and like part of the family." The touching encounter has resonated deeply with Malaysians online, with the video garnering over 1.3 million views and 101,800 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Netizens described the moment as a beautiful reflection of unity in diversity, and a testament to the everyday kindness that continues to define the Malaysian spirit.

Sheila Majid pays tribute to parents for career
DATUK Sheila Majid has paid tribute to her parents, saying their blessing for her was the key to her 40 years as a singer, Mingguan Malaysia reported. She spoke of the early days when she 'strategised' in seeking her late father's approval. 'Though my father was not harsh, he was strict and very old school. If he said no, it meant no.' Sheila was a mere teenager awaiting her SPM results when she got an offer to sing. 'I was the youngest of eight children. And a girl. My father would surely said no.' Her father eventually gave in, and little did she know this would evolve into a four-decade career. To mark the occasion, Sheila will hold a concert in Kuala Lumpur in November. > He carved a name as a mural artist after graduating in Fine Arts and Design from Universiti Teknologi Mara Shah Alam. However, for the past three years, Mohamad Haris Hilmi Norhasram, 30, has been crafting food replicas using materials like air-dry clay, acrylic paint and epoxy resin. While most of his orders come from restaurant owners who use the replicas as food displays, he would also get commissions from people looking for memorable gifts, Kosmo! Ahad reported. A replica of a bowl of pulled noodles or a chicken rice dish can fetch between RM80 and RM100, depending on the intricacy and detail involved, he said.

Irfan Zaini aims to bridge Malaysian, global film industries
Irfan, whose full name is Muhammad Irfan Mohamed Zaini, 30, achieved an impressive milestone by appearing in three Tamil films alongside renowned star Thalapathy Vijay, 51, who is also actively involved in politics in Tamil Nadu, India. 27 Jul 2025 12:01pm According to Irfan, the opportunity to act in India did not come easily. It required nearly five years of back-and-forth travel, meeting directors and producers, and even being scammed by individuals who made false promises. - Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR - Behind his calm demeanour and modest smile, rising actor Irfan Zaini harbours a big dream-not just to be known on the local screen, but to serve as a bridge connecting the Malaysian film industry to the international stage. Irfan, whose full name is Muhammad Irfan Mohamed Zaini, 30, achieved an impressive milestone by appearing in three Tamil films alongside renowned star Thalapathy Vijay, 51, who is also actively involved in politics in Tamil Nadu, India. Irfan said that in trying to break into the Kollywood industry, there's no set strategy to follow, but his deep passion drove him to work hard and patiently wait for his chance. - Bernama photo The young actor from Kuala Lumpur made his debut in the film Kuruvi (2008) at the age of 12, followed by Greatest of All Time (GOAT) (2024), and is now working on Jana Nayagan, which is currently in production and expected to be released early next year. According to Irfan, the opportunity to act in India did not come easily. It required nearly five years of back-and-forth travel, meeting directors and producers, and even being scammed by individuals who made false promises. "People think I went there and immediately got acting roles, but the truth is, I lost a lot of time, money, and energy. Many are still waiting for their chance, but I consider myself lucky because I was desperate to act in India,' he said in an interview with Bernama recently. He said that in trying to break into the Kollywood industry, there's no set strategy to follow, but his deep passion drove him to work hard and patiently wait for his chance. "Maybe others would have given up halfway,' he added. Irfan, who gained recognition among Malay audiences after starring in Blood Brothers: Bara Naga, said acting in India opened his eyes to the vastly different work culture, with productions managed in a more professional and structured manner. "In Malaysia, a film might have only two to four assistant directors. But in India, they can have over 20. "Each has a specific role-some handle the filming locations, others coordinate hundreds or even thousands of crew members, and some focus solely on planning complex sets like large-scale action scenes. Everything needs to be managed efficiently and quickly,' he explained. He added that most film crew members in India are part of a film workers' union that protects their welfare, including compensation in the event of injury or death during filming. "But in terms of quality-like camera work and storylines-I think Malaysia is already on par with India, even though our films are mostly made with smaller budgets,' he said, expressing his determination not only to make a name abroad but also to open more doors for collaboration between the Malaysian and international film industries. He pointed to the Indian film industry's recent focus on pan-India films, which bring together actors and crew from different regions such as Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam, and are released in multiple languages simultaneously-creating a nationwide phenomenon. "If they can bring together actors from different cultures and languages, I believe we too can start collaborating with neighbouring countries like Korea, Thailand, or Indonesia. "So when foreign actors appear in our films, our market will grow even bigger,' he said, believing that such a model could elevate Malaysian cinema on the global stage. - BERNAMA
