Qi Razali cuddles up with his Best Actor trophy after his first FFM win

3 Nov - After winning Best Actor for the first time, former OAG drummer-turned-actor Qi Razali recently shared his first post-victory photo on social media - and it is a picture of him sleeping with his Malaysian Film Festival (FFM) trophy. No caption shared, and no caption needed.

Fellow co-star Sweet Qismina also shared a similar photo on Instagram, proving that the "Babah" cast knows how to celebrate in style.

The actor posted the photos a few hours after he was announced as the winner for his performance in "Babah", besting the likes of Sharnaaz Ahmad, Aeril Zafrel and crowd favourite, Beto Kusyairy.

In his speech at the event, which was held on 1 November, Qi, real name Qushairi Mohammed Razali, dedicated his win to all the fathers out there, saying, "All fathers are great."

As did Sweet Qismina

Sweet, who won Best Actress for the same film, also made news at the festival - but for addressing a different topic altogether.

The actress dismissed the notion that she and husband Adam Lee are opting for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) in order to conceive their first child, saying she was perplexed as to why people keep asking her and her actor husband about it.

"I never made such a statement. I think maybe someone suggested it and it somehow turned viral. But no, my husband and I never planned for that because we have only been married for three years," she said.

Sweet and Adam have been married since 2022

At the same time, Sweet said that she and Adam are not against having a child and will accept God's blessings with an open hand. "We are still young and we will just go with the flow. It is all in God's arrangement... My husband and I were never pressed about this. We are grateful that our families have always been supportive," she said.

"Babah" was the big winner at the 34th edition of the annual film festival, winning major categories including Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Original Story among others
