Andie Chen admits 'traces of loss and loneliness' after 10th acting Star Awards defeat , Entertainment News
In a race, only one person can clinch first place. For local actor Andie Chen, the Star Awards race has become a standard affair, but one he has yet to bring home a trophy from. At the 30th edition of Star Awards held last night (July 6), the 39-year-old was one of five nominees for Best Actor, for his role in the Mediacorp drama Born to Shine. However, he lost to Christopher Lee, who won for his performance in the crime series Kill Sera Sera. The 53-year-old also brought home two other awards - Best Programme Host and the Special Achievement Award. Earlier today, Andie took to Instagram to reflect: "The ceremony ended and the music started. I sat in the audience, watching the liveliness on stage - no matter how strong the heart is, traces of loss and loneliness will still flow out in that moment. "But I didn't lose heart. Because all these years, I've had my family, team, friends and all of you who have supported me. Every time you speak up for me, it motivates me to keep working hard. Thank you everyone. "Setting aside my own little theatre, I really am happy to see my friends win awards. Who's not working hard for their dreams? "Finally, to my super handsome and capable idol Christopher Lee, I'm fully convinced losing to you. Thank you for letting me see my goal. I believe that one day, I will stand beside you and we'll create amazing stories together." [[nid:716772]] Andie had been nominated for Best Actor in 2012, 2017 and 2024. He was also nominated six times for Best Supporting Actor since 2011, and was also in the running for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024 and this year. Despite all the nominations, he has yet to win a Star Award.

He was comforted by local actress Ya Hui, who clutched his shoulder and spoke to him, to which he responded with a nod and smile while clapping for the winner. The two belong to the 2007 batch of Star Search, where Andie was crowned champion and Ya Hui a runner-up. Others also consoled Andie, with veteran actor Chen Hanwei dedicating an Instagram post to him today. In a picture where the two walked together backstage in their red-carpet outfits, the 55-year-old wrote: "It's not that you're bad, you're very good. Just down on a little bit of luck, Andie. "Don't be discouraged, keep up your attitude and positive energy, because your attitude is your best feng shui. Keep working hard, and one day there'll definitely be a piece of the sky for you. Believe in yourself. "Of course, I still have to congratulate Christopher Lee, it was well-deserved." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chenhanwei (@chenhanwei1969) Hanwei himself won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Unforgivable last night, which marks his third win in the category. On Andie's Instagram post, other local celebrities showed him their support in the comments section, including Aileen Tan, Apple Hong, Jeffrey Xu, Priscelia Chan and Xixi Lim. All were present at the awards ceremony last night. In a video posted by 8days, Christopher and Andie were seen interacting post-show. Andie was posing for the camera when he was spotted by the award- winner, who came over for a hug. Andie joked: "You not paiseh to come here?" before laughing and returning the embrace. Thereafter, Christopher said: "You'll surely get it next time, okay?" [[nid:719895]]

Mika Singh urges Diljit Dosanjh to apologise and remove objectionable scenes featuring Hania Aamir from Sardaar Ji 3: ‘We're all willing to forgive'
After making a sharp attack on Diljit Dosanjh over the Sardaar Ji 3 controversy, singer Mika Singh has now softened his stance, asking fans to forgive Diljit if he apologises and removes the objectionable content from the film. Taking to his Instagram Stories, Mika wrote, 'Guys, I understand, we all make mistakes in life. But when we do, there's one simple word that holds power: Sorry. If Diljit made a mistake, we're all willing to forgive. But he must apologise and remove all the objectionable scenes from the movie! That's it. No hate. Just respect. Desh pehle!' Mika earlier took a veiled dig at Diljit Dosanjh Before this reconciliatory message, Mika had shared a strongly worded post, without naming Diljit directly, that appeared to target him for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir during tensions between India and Pakistan. 'Guys, as we all know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn't going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly,' he wrote in a note titled 'Desh Pehle'. In a sharper line, he added, 'What's more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, has now disappeared — leaving fans betrayed and helpless.' The statement was accompanied by an image of both Mika and Diljit, suggesting his criticism was clearly directed at the Born to Shine singer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40세 넘고 PC만 있으면? 이 게임 완전 내 거임!

In a statement, FWICE President BN Tiwari said, 'By working with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments. He has disrespected the sentiments of the nation and insulted the sacrifice of our brave soldiers.' He further questioned Diljit's decision to choose a Pakistani talent over Indian artists, calling it a matter of 'loyalty and priorities.' Diljit responds: 'The film was shot before the tensions escalated' In an interview with BBC Asian Network, Diljit defended the film, saying it was shot earlier this year when the political situation was still stable. 'Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha... Now the situation is not in our hands,' he said. He also expressed support for the producers' decision to release the film internationally. With increasing backlash, the makers of Sardaar Ji 3 have decided to skip an Indian release and are moving forward with a worldwide release on June 27. Directed by Amarjit Singh Saron, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh alongside Hania Aamir, Neeru Bajwa, Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Sapna Pabbi.
