KUALA LUMPUR: "The bride and groom haven't said a word, so why are people making a fuss?"

That was the response of popular TV host Datuk Aznil Nawawi—affectionately known as Pak Nil—when asked why he was not seen at the recent wedding of Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and singer Bella Astillah.

Pak Nil, 64, clarified that he was invited but could not attend due to prior commitments.

He added that aside from being invited to the couple's solemnisation ceremony and reception, he was also asked to serve as master of ceremonies.
