Passion, craft and ambition &mdash; Syafiq&nbsp;Kyle opens up on marriage, acting, growth and bold global dreams.

Congratulations to you and Mimi Lana! How has married life been so far?
Thank you. I appreciate it. We picked a private wedding to ensure an intimate and meaningful experience for ourselves. Marriage has been fantastic; it&rsquo;s a fresh chapter full of love and understanding.
 Do you mind sharing with us where you are planning to go for your honeymoon?
We&rsquo;re still finalising our plans, but we're thinking about a destination that offers both relaxation and adventure.
 How do you balance your intense work schedule with personal life now that you&rsquo;re married?
It&rsquo;s all about prioritising and communicating. Despite our hectic schedules, we make an effort to spend meaningful time together.

Looking back at your journey since HERO REMAJA, how do you feel you&rsquo;ve evolved as an actor?
I&rsquo;ve grown tremendously since then, both in my craft and as a person. Each role has taught me something new, and I feel more confident in my abilities today.
 For 2025, you have a leading role in BLOOD BROTHERS: BARA NAGA. What did you take away from playing Ariff, and how did it differ from your previous roles, especially in SHERIFF and THE EXPERTS?
Playing Ariff was a unique experience that challenged me in different ways. It required a deeper emotional connection compared to my previous roles, allowing me to explore new depths as an actor.
 From vigilantes to law enforcers, you&rsquo;ve often played morally complex roles. Are you drawn to conflict-driven characters?
Absolutely! I find complex characters fascinating because they reflect the nuances of real life, and exploring their conflicts adds depth to my performances.

BLOOD BROTHERS was part homage to Skop Production&rsquo;s 40th anniversary. Did that legacy influence your approach to the role?
Yes, the legacy of Skop inspired me to honour the tradition while bringing my own interpretation to the character, making it a special project for me.
 You&rsquo;ve expressed interest in working in Korea, Thailand and the Philippines. What kind of roles or collaborations are you hoping for in those markets?
I&rsquo;m eager to explore diverse roles that challenge me, as well as collaborations that allow cultural exchange and storytelling on a broader scale.
 ONE CENT THIEF has gained traction overseas. How much does that reception influence your international aspirations?
The positive reception motivates me to pursue more international projects, showcasing my work to a wider audience and expanding my horizons.

What inspired your fashion line, and what&rsquo;s next for the brand?
Kylez was rebranded to Sajiwa, and my clothing brand is more casual and kurta style for Hari Raya. My fashion line is inspired by my personal style and the desire to share it with others. I&rsquo;m excited about future collections that reflect my growth and creativity.
 As a public figure, do you see yourself branching into producing or directing more often?
I definitely have an interest in producing and directing. It&rsquo;s another way to tell stories and will have a more significant impact on the projects I&rsquo;m passionate about.
 In your career so far, what&rsquo;s your proudest moment and your biggest challenge?
My proudest moment would be receiving recognition for my work, while my biggest challenge has been navigating the ups and downs of the industry, learning from each experience.

Where do you see yourself by 2030, in terms of acting, projects or personal life?
By 2030, I hope to have a diverse portfolio of projects that challenge me as an actor and to achieve personal milestones that bring fulfilment to my life.
 What is your definition of happiness?
Happiness, for me, is about finding balance, nurturing relationships and pursuing passions that bring joy and fulfilment.
 Do you consider yourself successful?
Success is subjective, but I feel proud of what I&rsquo;ve achieved so far. I strive to continue growing and evolving in my career.
