KUALA LUMPUR: The brutal attack on actor Kamal Adli in Singapore yesterday was the result of jealousy, said his actress wife Uqasha Senrose.
Kamal, who is recuperating in a private hospital, was hit on the head with a chota (Indian axe with a long handle) and suffered serious injuries which required stitches. His attacker was believed to be a Singaporean.
"When he struck Kamal, the man yelled out that he was jealous about our marriage. I believe he had targeted Kamal for sometime, as not too long ago, we received a threatening social media message from a mysterious person who threatened to kill my husband," said Uqasha in an Instagram Story post today.
Uqasha, 30, admitted that she was traumatised by the attack on Kamal, 37, and urged netizens to refrain from commenting on the attack on social media.
Kamal was attacked around 10pm last night when he and Uqasha were at a trade fair in Singapore. The man who attacked him was promptly apprehended by the crowd and arrested by police.
