SHE STARTED AS HALF OF MUNAH HIRZI
Most recently, the 35-year-old was selected to be part of the cast of Hotel, a new play by local theatre company Wild Rice. The monthlong theatrical event, which ends on July 8, is described as “an immersive, multi-generational epic (that) explores the notions of empire, nationhood, migration, and identity against the backdrop of a shrinking world”. She had previously starred in White Rabbit Red Rabbit (2016), a play by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour that revolves around the theme of individual and personal freedom.
Besides her work in the arts and entertainment industries, Munah is an ambassador for Dementia Singapore. She also speaks openly (and sometimes with a touch of humour) about important issues such as mental health on CNA’s Talking Point and Instagram (@munahbagharib).
a local duo that drew hundreds of thousands of viewers to their Youtube channel for their outspokenness and humour. Since retiring from the video-sharing platform in 2018 to pursue her personal and professional goals, Munah Bagharib has graced our TV screens as a presenter and actor, and starred in a number of theatre productions.
SPEAKING HER MIND
Right away, Munah comes across as warm, friendly and bubbly. She is cheerful, chatty, and candid as she tells us about her carefree youth and growing up in Tampines with her parents, sisters and brother.
But Munah wasn't always this outspoken. As a child, she says that she was more "guarded", rarely sharing her thoughts and feelings with anyone.
"I had two sisters, but they were much older, and until my little brother came along, I had to find ways to entertain myself, so I was used to being on my own a lot," she explains.
