KUALA LUMPUR: Popular Indonesian actor Gary Iskak has been arrested for alleged drug use in Bandung.
Indonesian news portal Detik reported that the 49-year-old artiste of Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? and Ungu Violet fame was arrested with four other individuals at a house in Indonesia's fourth largest city.
Gary who hails from Bogor, West Java is believed to have been in possession of the drug methamphetamine and was under its influence at the time of his arrest.
He was previously arrested with the same drug on Sept 21, 2007.
Gary's arrest shocked many Indonesian celebrities as he had been diagnosed with cancer and hospitalised for eight days last year.
His wife, actress Richa Novisha, in an Instagram post today, advised his fans to stay calm and "give him some space" to face his latest challenge.
"Attention! Please give us more time for privacy. He is OK," she said.
Gary began his acting career in 2000, and has starred in more than 40 films and more than 30 television dramas.
He hails from a family of actors and actresses who include his uncle Boy Iskak, aunts Indriati Iskak and Alice Iskak, and brother Khiva Iskak.
