For Nia, finding her sanctuary in acting has been an ongoing journey. She has lived many lives, both within and beyond acting\u2014and she shows no signs of slowing down with fresh sounds on the horizon. She has cemented herself as a passionate multi-hyphenate who lives to create, defy expectations, push boundaries, and inspire through her work and craft; she\u2019s now between modelling and debuting her first leading role in Nadiah Hamzah\u2019s romantic comedy film, <i>Kata Hati<\/i>\u2014the world is her oyster. Scha Alyahya, on the other hand, has been gracing our screens for years and paving her way in the industry, earning respect and admiration for her notable work. The fiercely talented actress has always carried the introspection and candour of a soul beyond her years\u2014someone who commands attention when she enters a room. Together, they sat down for a soulful conversation about <i>Kata Hati<\/i>, the dedication to the craft and their take on love\u2014and things got unapologetically real.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1920\/1280\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-04.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"Nia Atasha and Scha Alyahya are dressed in the Dior Fall 2026 collection.\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-04.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-04-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-04-768x512.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"caption mt-2 flex justify-between gap-4\">\n\t\t\t<span>Nia Atasha and Scha Alyahya are dressed in the Dior Fall 2026 collection.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bz-embed\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nia Atasha and Scha Alyahya Rewrites Romance With Film &quot;Kata Hati&quot;\" width=\"1100\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CuSnGFPlg3o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Kata Hati<\/i> follows a rising actress\u2014played by Nia Atasha\u2014whose picture-perfect life cracks open the moment she catches her boyfriend\u2014and co-star\u2014doing things she can never unsee. Heartbroken and reeling, she collides with an e-hailing driver she was never supposed to meet, and suddenly everything she thought she had figured out is beautifully, terribly undone. What follows is drama, yearning and the kind of chaos that feels suspiciously like fate. \u201cI feel that Ayra and I have a lot in common. We\u2019re both trying to find our space in the industry, and there\u2019s so much internal conflict between the heart and the mind\u2014what\u2019s right, what\u2019s wrong and what I want versus what I need to do for myself,\u201d said Nia. And sitting right across from her is someone who understands that feeling more than she\u2019d ever need to say. Over the years, Scha has always demonstrated her powerful ability to deliver nuanced and driven performances, so as you would expect, we wanted to know\u2014what did it feel like watching Nia step into the spotlight she once claimed for herself? \u201cWatching Nia was very refreshing. She reminded me of how nervous and excited I was when I first started. Naturally, I became supportive of her. I\u2019m very proud of her,\u201d Scha reminisced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-12 md:-mx-16\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-2 gap-3 md:gap-6 relative items-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative aspect-[4\/5] bg-stone overflow-hidden\"><img width=\"1472\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-02.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"50vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-02.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-02-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-02-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-02-768x1002.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mt-2 max-w-xs\"><span class=\"caption\"><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative aspect-[4\/5] bg-stone overflow-hidden\"><img width=\"1472\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-06.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"Kata Hati\" sizes=\"50vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-06.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-06-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-06-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-06-768x1002.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mt-2 max-w-xs\"><span class=\"caption\"><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of their work and craft has left audiences delightedly slack-jawed. Their characters are far from perfect, but the execution of Ayra Natasha and Maya was portrayed with such honesty and emotional depth\u2014the kind that doesn\u2019t come from technique alone. It comes from feeling things fully and meaning it. Which makes sense, because Nia is exactly that kind of person. \u201cLove means everything to me because I\u2019m just naturally a romantic,\u201d she says, leaning back in her chair and smiling affectionately, and you believe her instantly. \u201cWhen you\u2019re in a relationship, or you\u2019re on a journey with somebody, it\u2019s really about learning and accepting,\u201d she continued. It\u2019s a quietly profound thing to say, and it tells you everything about why Ayra feels so real on screen. Nia doesn\u2019t just play a woman navigating love\u2014she understands it. She thinks deeply, feels deeply, and when she steps into a role, she brings all of that with her, unfiltered.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-12 md:-mx-16\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-2 gap-3 md:gap-6 relative items-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative aspect-[4\/5] bg-stone overflow-hidden\"><img width=\"1472\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-01.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"Kata Hati\" sizes=\"50vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-01.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-01-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-01-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-01-768x1002.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mt-2 max-w-xs\"><span class=\"caption\"><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative aspect-[4\/5] bg-stone overflow-hidden\"><img width=\"1472\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-03.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"50vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-03.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-03-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-03-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-03-768x1002.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mt-2 max-w-xs\"><span class=\"caption\"><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scha, it seems, was searching for that same kind of philosophy when she said yes to Maya. \u201cMaya\u2014on the outside\u2014she seems quite strong, but I know that deep down she\u2019s struggling with emotions, pressure and love. I feel women out there can relate to her, which is why I got drawn to the character,\u201d she said. And Scha has cultivated a delivery and physicality that is entirely her own\u2014a perfect one to add. She treaded a very thin tightrope between gut-wretching, love and laughs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  max-w-[560px] mx-auto\">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1500\/1875\"><img width=\"1500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR1.jpeg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"Kata Hati\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR1.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR1-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR1-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR1-768x960.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romance films have spent decades building a perfect formula for love\u2014moonlit walks on the beach, perfectly timed confessions in the rain and a boombox serenade. But then there are stories like<i> Kata Hati<\/i>, which take all of that and ask a different question: what if love is just someone who keeps showing up? Nia Atasha and Scha Alyahya understand that distinction better than most. So, we had to ask: was there a line of dialogue in the film that really stuck with you\u2014one that felt bigger than just the script? \u201cThere\u2019s a scene in the film where we talk about how love is not enough to save someone,\u201d Scha pondered. \u201cIt\u2019s true. Because in real life, you really wish that love could fix everything, and life is more complicated than that.\u201d Nia nodded, then lit up with her own. \u201cFor me\u2014in my brain\u2014it is \u2018<i>Tapi you luar biasa untuk I, Imran<\/i>\u2019\u201d, which translates to \u201cBut you are extraordinary for me, Imran\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  max-w-[560px] mx-auto\">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1500\/1875\"><img width=\"1500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR2.jpeg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR2.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR2-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR2-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR2-768x960.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And maybe that\u2019s what <i>Kata Hati<\/i> has always been about\u2014not the grand gestures or the perfectly scripted confessions. Because at its core, this film isn\u2019t really about following the rules of love. It\u2019s about what happens when you finally stop overthinking and listen. Nia and Scha understood that assignment before the cameras even rolled. Nia and Scha didn\u2019t just bring two characters to life. They brought two women who feel things deeply, love imperfectly, and refuse to pretend otherwise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  max-w-[560px] mx-auto\">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1472\/1920\"><img width=\"1472\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-05.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"Kata Hati\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-05.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-05-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-05-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WEB-size-with-BAZAAR-05-768x1002.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And we can\u2019t wait to see the shapes of their futures because you get the impression they will continue to navigate their way to the top beautifully, maintaining a curiosity and enthusiasm for acting and life long after this film.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Nia Atasha and Scha Alyahya are dressed in the Dior Fall 2026 collection.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nia Atasha and Scha Alyahya dismantle every rule, foundation and theory about love with \u201cKata Hati\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"bzd_title_left":"","bzd_title_right":"","footnotes":"","bz_kicker":"","bz_opener":"bleed","bz_photographer":"","bz_hero_caption":"","bz_hero_credit":"","bz_hero_clip":0,"bz_inset":0,"bz_tile_image":0,"bz_clip":0,"bz_tile_dek":"","bz_reading_time":"","bz_duration":"","bz_feature_small":0,"bz_feature_medium":0,"bz_feature_quote":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[638,420,51,28,1186,596,1187,590,868],"bz_slot":[],"class_list":["post-2916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","tag-actress","tag-culture","tag-dior","tag-film","tag-kata-hati","tag-movies","tag-nia-atasha","tag-romance","tag-scha-alyahya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2916"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3521,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2916\/revisions\/3521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2916"},{"taxonomy":"bz_slot","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bz_slot?post=2916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
