The recent news of Ashraf Sinclair’s passing has left a significant mark not only on fans and friends of the talented heartthrob, but particularly his family members including his one and only sister Aishah Sinclair.
It’s revealed that the MIX fm announcer was informed about the shocking news 10 minutes before she went on air. As a result, Aishah – along with her parents – had to book the earliest flight tickets to Jakarta.
Soon after his funeral took place, the 39-year-old took to her Instagram, thanking everyone “who reached out, called, and flew all the way (to Indonesia).” Aishah added, “This has been one of the toughest days my family has ever gone through, your love and support means a lot to us.” She further expressed her gratitude knowing that her elder brother had received tremendous loves from everyone.
One of Ashraf’s closest friends in the entertainment scene, Sazzy Falak also came down to the neighbouring country to bid her last farewell to her “Gol & Gincu” co-star. The actress-TV host posted a series of heartfelt statements on her Instagram Stories, recalling on the time when she visited Ashraf in Jakarta last year to the moment when she first received the unfortunate news.
Other celebrities who had the honour to work with Ashraf in the past – namely Zul Ariffin and Fazura – also took to their official social media accounts to pay their tributes to the Malaysian-British figure. Zul first met Ashraf back in 2004 for a commercial ad shoot. On the other hand, the award-winning actress starred together with Ashraf and Sazzy in “Gol & Gincu”.
Zul was also seen in attendance during the funeral ceremony. As at time of writing (Wednesday, 19th February), the “Sangkar” actor is still in Jakarta and even took some time to visit his graveyard. Feel free to check out their posts here:
