Umie Aida gets less acting offers

The actress misses playing characters that would require her to act with emotions


Umie Aida doesn't mind acting with any production company aside from her sister's.

25 Oct – Veteran actress Datin Seri Umie Aida has voiced her longing to play more complex characters that would require her to play around with her emotions, thus leading to a more fulfilling portrayal in her works.

However, until now the actress hasn't had the chance to make her wish come true.

Umi Khalsum Rahmad Ali, or more famously known as Umie Aida, stated that she was baffled as to why she no longer receives acting offers from other producers after starring in her sister Erma Fatima's movie.

"I don't know why I am getting less and less acting offers lately. Maybe producers are scared to cast me because they are in the opinion that I only accept offers from certain directors. That's not true because I'm always open [to offers]", said the actress to BH Online.

"Maybe all this while, many think that I only act under Erma as I often star in her works. I do not mind working with any productions because I'm still interested in acting."

The "Jwanita" actress added that she missed playing more complicated characters that requires her to play around with her emotions, since such characters are more satisfying to play.

Aside from acting, the 42-year old has also ventured into business, as she currently sells health product, Rerama Tea.
