KUALA LUMPUR: Singaporean actor Hisyam Hamid's former wife Mel or Rosmawati Hanafi said that the end of her marriage was "painful but inevitable".
"Even though it had to happen, it really hurts. But having said that, it was a blessing in disguise and a test for me," she said in an Instagram post yesterday.
Rosmawati added that she had undergone more than 1,000 challenges thus far which "crushed, built and strengthened" her.
"I may be nursing a broken heart today, but I will survive and be stronger, by God's grace. Soon I will rise again by accepting my fate and doing my utmost to improve my fortunes."
Hisyam said yesterday that his two-decade marriage to Rosmawati ended recently.
The couple who were married in 2006 have two children Nurish Syameliah,17, and Haydeen, 15.
