Did you always want to be an actress?
Farhana: Not really. I was brought up in a traditional household where you are expected to sit for the O-Level, perhaps head to poly and then pursue further education in university.
But I did not do well in my studies and failed mathematics in the ‘O’ Level exams. I remember thinking “Die la” as my parents would not be happy.
I decided to apply for NAFA as I had taken some acting and modelling classes when I was younger. My teacher in primary school had encouraged me to take part in a school drama and that had got me interested in the theatre, which I pursued in primary and secondary school.
When I suggested this route after my O-Levels, my father was not happy, but my mother, though skeptical about acting as a career, asked me to give it a try.
I applied and was offered the Diploma in Acting. Following this, I pursued a Degree in Theatre Arts, also at NAFA.
