'My ordeal makes me wiser and stronger'
She may still be a teen but Manohara Odelia Pinot is clearly mature beyond her years. Married at the aged of 17, the French Indonesian claimed to have been raped, kidnapped and abused by her 31-year-old royal husband.
Having made a dramatic escape last month, Manohara has since shot to fame in Indonesia and was offered the starring role in a soap opera by Jakarta film production house Sinemart.
Last week, she took time out in between shoots at a studio in private television channel RCTI and to talk to Malaysiakini.
The following is the final of a two-part interview.
Immediately after that night, when you reached the hotel (in Singapore), you tried to run into an elevator and...
No, no, not immediately. We were planning to stay there for five weeks, I think? It was a long time, like more than a month, until the sultan gets better. So I said okay, just calm down, try to wait for mom to come so I'd be brave enough to make a scene. I was contacting her through the phone. I was like, ok, ok...
The next day Tengku was like “we have to leave, now, now, now,” so I was like, “oh, no”. And Datuk Kadar Shah (Sulaiman) found out that Tengku was leaving, so he called my mom and told her to come to Singapore now, “come now”.
