Since 2002, Nurul Aini Abdul Rahim, most commonly referred to by her stage name Nurul Aini, has worked as a TV presenter and actress for MediaCorp Suria. The Malay, Peranakan, Pakistani, and Dutch cultures may be traced back to the Singaporean actress. Before beginning a career in the entertainment industry, Nurul was a frontline crew member at the Mandarin Orchard Singapore. Acting on stage while also working in the hotel industry was something that Nurul did for a while. It was in 2005 that she decided to leave her profession as a hotel executive and devote her time to performing and hosting.
Nurul Aini endured a traumatic event at a very young age. When Nurul was seven years old, her parents went through a divorce. While Nurul and her four siblings were growing up, their mother cared for them independently while financially tied to the family by working at a factory. Nurul Aini witnessed her mother’s struggle, which taught her the value of keeping healthy relationships. However, Nurul maintained a relationship with her biological father, even though he had subsequently remarried and relocated to Johor.
Away from the spotlight, Nurul Aini is most known for her roles as a wife to Sofian Roslan and a mother to their three children. She was just 17 years old when she first began dating her husband, and after dating for eight years, they decided to get married.
Nurul Aini solidified her status as one of the most popular personalities on the regional Malay television scene. However, Nurul Aini’s foray into the entertainment industry was purely coincidental, and the course her life would have taken may have been very different if not for the initiative of her best friend. It was Nurul’s friend Diah Mastura Roslan, now her sister-in-law. The latter put in an application for her on behalf of Nurul when the Malay television station Suria of MediaCorp called for an audition for the talent competition Juara in 2002.
She impressed the producers with her photo and application form, so much so that they decided to bring her in for the first round of auditions. Despite this, Nurul attended the auditions. At the time, she was working as a frontline staff member at what is now the Mandarin Orchard Singapore. As luck would have it, her innate personality and stunning good looks helped her get past the first few rounds of the competition. Her participation in Juara served as the springboard for her eventual rise to prominence in the Malay television industry, even though she did not end up winning the competition and could only secure third place.
Aside from her work in television, Nurul is also a businesswoman. She is a co-owner of Studiofrost, an online women’s clothing store, and Studio Cafe SG, a restaurant in the Toa Payoh Lorong 6 area. This is where she spends most of her time when she is not traveling to another location for a shoot.
The former study room has been renovated into a home office, and it is in this space that she manages all of the administrative aspects of her businesses.
