This prestigious recognition was based on votes from global fans, recognising her stellar performance in the Tonton Original Series, SeOfis, which premiered on Tonton earlier this year.
"I'm very honoured to have been nominated for this award, especially since this recognition comes from an international level awards show," she said during a G-meet with media on Monday, 23 September.
In SeOfis, Siti Saleha stars as Sam, alongside two other lead characters portrayed by Nadiya Nisaa and Nadia Aqilah.
The series revolves around three entrepreneurial women navigating the challenges of running their own businesses in a shared workspace while building deep personal and professional connections.
