Adjusting to married life can bring many changes, and for professional footballer Akhyar Rashid, one of those changes was an unexpected shift on the weighing scale. In a recent candid interview, the Terengganu FC (TFC) winger revealed he gained some weight shortly after marrying actress Eyka Farhana.
The confession, made with good humour, quickly caught the attention of fans. The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Boathouse By The Lake, Ampang on 2nd May, have been enjoying newlywed life away from the limelight. However, the footballer’s light-hearted revelation reminded fans that even elite athletes can face a few bumps in the road when stepping away from their usual routines.
During a casual chat with actor Aidil Aziz shared via Instagram, the footballer admitted that two months without training had caused his weight to climb by 5kg. “Honestly, I gained 5kg. Two months without training really took a toll,” he said with a laugh. Fortunately, the break was only temporary. Akhyar went on to share that he has since returned to his regular fitness regime and successfully lost 7kg.
What truly charmed fans, however, was the reaction from his wife Eyka. Known for her bubbly personality, the actress responded to the post with laughing emojis, showing she was both supportive and entertained by her husband’s honest moment.
