As someone who can speak three languages, Nurul is one of the few artistes who has been cast in Malay, English and Chinese productions.
She will soon be seen in several episodes of new long-form drama The Heartland Hero as Nora bin Rashid, a well-liked doctor in a neighbourhood clinic. Fellow Suria star Fauzie Laily also joins the cast as her brother Adam bin Rashid, a police officer.
While Nurul was supposed to speak only English in the series, the executive producer added some Mandarin lines for her upon learning at the imaging session that she could speak the language.
“I started watching Ch 8 dramas with English subtitles when I was about seven years old, but I didn’t realise how much Mandarin I’d actually managed to pick up until I went to secondary school,” she shared.
According to Nurul, a girl came up to her on the first day of orientation and spoke to her in Mandarin, and to Nurul’s own surprise, she was able to understand everything and even reply in the same language.
“I myself was shocked!” she exclaimed. “Since then, I realised that I can actually understand and speak Mandarin."
