FOLLOWING recent signs of marital discord, businessman Mohamed Nedim Nazri has now reassured the public that his marriage to actress Nora Danish (pic) is back on track.
He said he and his wife only had a “playful tiff” when commenting on the status of his marriage in an Instagram live session, according to Berita Harian.
“Nothing happened; I love my wife. Please don’t make silly jokes. It’s not nice to talk about separation.
“My wife and I are still on good terms; we are good friends and are a couple,” he said as he expressed his love for Nora.
“It was merely a tiff, a small issue. We are okay.
“Alhamdulillah, I want to bring my wife and kids out,” he added.
Mohamed Nedim, 41, explained that they weren’t living together because their home was undergoing renovations.
According to reports, Nora Danish, 42, has acknowledged difficulties in her marriage and revealed that she and her husband have been living apart for the past three months.
News reports on Monday quoted her as saying, “Seven years of marriage, there’s definitely some turbulence, but we’re trying to handle it as we can.”
While Nora admitted that it’s “better” for them to live separately for now, she said she still meets up with Mohamed Nedim daily.
Nora and Mohamed Nedim, who tied the knot in March 2017, have a six-year-old son together.
Nora also has a 15-year-old son from her previous marriage to Datuk Rizal Ashram Ramli, which ended in divorce in 2008.
> Financial struggles and complications from diabetes have forced Ismail Ahmad, 58, to earn a living by selling items that are sourced from other people’s trash in Pahang.
Ismail, from Pulau Tawar, Jerantut, said he would rummage through garbage to find resaleable items such as electrical appliances, small furniture, kitchen wares and clothing.
“Although some passers-by taunt me, I am doing this to earn an honest living,” Kosmo! reported him as saying.
Diabetes causes him constant chest discomfort and fatigue, which has disrupted his ability to work.
The father of two said he became homeless after separating from his wife, who lives in Penang. He moved to Kuantan five years ago.
“In Kuantan, I look through people’s garbage to find used and discarded items that are still in good condition to sell,” he said.
Ismail said he had been living in a dilapidated hut while working at an oil palm plantation.
