WANNA be ME
L'OFFICIEL Malaysia|April 2024
After a whirlwind of success as a bestselling author and one of the most sought-after actresses in Malaysia, Daiyan Trisha slows down her pace to prepare for what's to come next in 2024.
WANNA be ME

A regular face (and one of the most loved) in the fashion, lifestyle and entertainment industries, Daiyan Trisha is now a household name in Malaysia. The year 2023 saw her achieve multiple new accolades including bestselling author for her book Tulisan and her acting projects ranking first on the charts including W: Two Worlds, Projek: High Council and Sumpahan Jerunei.

As the first quarter of 2024 wraps, Daiyan is slowing down to recalibrate her thoughts and ground herself before setting out to once again wow the world with her creativity and talent. Even as she is winding down, you will still find her busy working on various things including being an ambassador for vivo V30, writing more poems, travelling the world and more. That is why we are catching up with her to talk about the year that has just passed and let her give us a teaser of what is to come in 2024.

L’OFFICIEL: First of all, congratulations on Tulisan being a bestseller for consecutive weeks. It’s been a minute since we spoke about your plans to launch the book in our last cover shoot. How does it feel to see everything come to life?

DAIYAN TRISHA: It feels very surreal and I have a list of the best things I feel I did with my life and releasing a book is one of them. It’s something that I will celebrate for the rest of my days because the first step is always the hardest and I have managed to do that. That has motivated me to write more and to release more books in the years to come.

Seeing those who bought my book unboxing it and resonating with what I wrote is a joy that I never expected but has now become necessary for me to continue with what I am doing.
