We had to change the initial shoot date – and time – on a number of occasions due Meerqeen’s (@meerqeen) and Zhen Ning’s (@zhen.ningg) hectic schedules. The studio was filled with laughter and jokes when the cover guys saw the arrival of each other. Having known each other for quite some time now, it should come as no surprise that Meerqeen and Zhen Ning share a somewhat similar viewpoint on friendship. “What is important in a healthy friendship is when you and your friend have trust, and hold the same opinion on equality, compassion, honesty and independence. Although it may not be possible all the time, friends should be able to make decisions together and compromise without being shut down,” says Zhen Ning.
Both breakout actors in the Malaysian entertainment industry are seeing big things on the horizon. Meerqeen’s upcoming project on Viu, titled Nenek Bongkok Tiga, is according to him, “contrary to the name, it’s an action thriller and it’ll rock your socks off!”, while Zhen Ning has recently acted in Lost and Found, a television movie, and a horror-comedy film “with a romantic twist” called Deliveries.
Here, Meerqeen and Zhen Ning open up on how you too can stay on top on your game.
REMEMBER YOUR ROOTS
Meerqeen: I’m proud to be a Malaysian because of the without a seond doubt. Despite the different backgrounds, languages and religions, we respect one another as equal; I think that’s easier said than done.
