Kapanlagi.com - Kiesha Alvaro talks about his closeness with Zara Leola that has developed since they were children. They grew up in the same environment because their parents are members of the band Ungu, and now they are reunited in this latest project of the group.
'Since we were this small, what can we do? From this small, Zara is this small and I am this small. We grew up together, together with Ungu too,' said Kiesha Alvaro when met by KapanLagi in the Senayan area, Wednesday (5/08/2026).
1. The Story of Kiesha Alvaro and Zara Leola Since Childhood
The closeness of Kiesha and Zara began with their parents who were both part of Ungu. This situation placed them in the same circle from an early age.
According to Kiesha, she and Zara grew up following the journey of Ungu's career. This has created a long-lasting bond between them, from childhood to the present.
The experience of growing up in the same environment serves as a strong background for both when they reunited for a professional project in the entertainment industry.

Kiesha Alvaro and Zara Leola were entrusted to be the main actors in the music video for Ungu's latest song titled North-South. This meeting became the realization of an opportunity that had been postponed several times.
"So when the time comes for us to play together, let's go. Because we almost had a project together a few times but it never happened," Kiesha explained.
The long-standing relationship made it easier for both of them to build chemistry on set. When the opportunity came through this music video project, they were ready to work together immediately.
3. Working Together with Dad on Set, Without Pressure
Collaborating with her father has also been a unique experience for Kiesha. She admits to feeling more comfortable during filming because she understands Pasha's character when giving directions.
"It's actually less pressuring because it's with a parent; I know what Dad wants. So when on set, Dad doesn't need to brief me much, I know what he wants," Kiesha said.
On location, Kiesha even playfully retaliated against her father's antics. She believes that moment added to the excitement of the shooting process.
"It’s more fun because I can tease Dad. In music, I'm the one being teased, but in acting, I get to tease him," she said with a laugh.
4. Advice from Pasha and Enda
Behind the relaxed work atmosphere, Pasha and Enda still provide important reminders to their children regarding their attitude while pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.
"Don't do drugs, that's definitely one. Don't feel superior, for sure," Kiesha concluded.
This message is conveyed so that they maintain their behavior and remain vigilant in their professional activities in the industry they are engaged in.
