ACTRESS Maya Karin, 43, is not ready to say anything about the Frenchman who was seated next to her at the launch of the “By Maya Karin” perfume at the World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
Maya said she is still getting to know the man who is in his early 40s, Berita Harian reported.
“Actually, there is nothing to share. This is because everyone who came to this event are my family members and closest friends.
“So, I’m lucky to have such strong support. To be honest, I’m enjoying my life.
“Let’s see how far our relationship goes – both of us are busy with our careers,” she said.
However, Maya added that she is now open to the idea of being in a relationship or taking friendship to the next level.
She also said this acquaintance is still at an early stage, and as such, he cannot be called a “lover”.
“This is because I once fell in love after my divorce, but ended up with heartache,” she said.
Maya married Steven David Shorthose or Muhammad Ali Abdullah in 2008, but the marriage ended two years later.
