#Showbiz: News of my upcoming wedding isn't a gimmick, says actress Raja Ilya

KUALA LUMPUR: When actress Raja Ilya made headlines recently on the news of her upcoming marriage with her Australian beau, some Netizens questioned whether this was merely a publicity stint by her.

Social media was abuzz with Netizens questioning the validity of this new development since the 33-year-old actress had never once revealed anything about her future husband, be it a photo or his name, only the initials TWG.

Raja Ilya, in a news report, responded that her tying the knot next year was not a gimmick and she had her own reason to keep certain things private.

“There’s no reason for me to share the photo of my future husband right now. What’s important for us is to keep our relationship strong. All other details will be made known closer to the big day itself,” said the artiste whose full name is Raja Ramilah Begum Raja Mohammad.

At the moment, the lovebirds have made some preparations for the wedding which is scheduled for September next year. These included selecting their wedding rings at a jewellery store and discussing the themes for their receptions which will be held both here and in Perth, Australia.
