BUSINESSMAN Engku Emran, who recently got divorced from Noor Nabila Mohd Noor, the older sister of celebrity entrepreneur Neelofa, is upset by criticisms blaming him for the failure of his third marriage, reported Harian Metro.
The 48-year-old businessman, whose real name is Engku Emran Engku Zainal Abidin, has come forward to defend himself against the allegations.
“I am actually sad for my dad and daughter as they have to face such rubbish about me,” he said.
“Personally, I can ‘swallow’ all of it but I pity my family and friends. They might also be embarrassed,” he added.
The pronouncement of divorce was done at the Kuala Lumpur Syariah Court on Monday.
This was Nabila’s second marriage and the third for Engku Emran.
Nabila had in the past year denied that her marriage to Engku Emran was on the rocks after his pictures were removed from her social media.
She had then told the media that she removed the pictures because she was “sulking”.
Noor Nabila was previously married to actor Sharnaaz Ahmad from 2017 to 2020, with whom she has a son, Jebat Jayden Ahmad.
Engku Emran was previously married to actress Erra Fazira, with whom he has a daughter, and Indonesian actress Laudya Cynthia Bella.
