#SHOWBIZ: Bell Ngasri approached for autograph by parking warden in NZ
KUALA LUMPUR: Award-winning comedian Bell Ngasri was recently featured in a viral video from Auckland, New Zealand, where he had an unexpected encounter with a parking warden.
Fortunately, the warden wasn't there to issue a parking ticket, but to ask for his autograph.
Bell, whose full name is Ngasrizal Ngasri, 44, looked genuinely surprised when the warden approached him for his signature.
He'd initially thought she was about to fine him for a parking offence.
At the time, Bell was standing on a pavement with fellow actors Fattah Amin, Amira Othman, and Irfan Haris. "Sorry for my parking offence," Bell quipped to the warden, who turned out to be a Malaysian woman.
The video proved highly popular with netizens, many of whom jokingly remarked that Bell had overtaken Fattah in terms of popularity in New Zealand.
"Wow! Looks like Bell is a hit in NZ too, and Fattah has a very strong competitor," one netizen commented.
In fact, Bell, Fattah, Amira, and Irfan were in New Zealand to film the drama series, 'Poskad Cinta Dari Auckland', which also stars Datin Paduka Umie Aida, Datuk Remy Ishak, and Nora Danish.
