Revalina S Temat Reveals a Series of Reasons for Selectively Taking Roles in Films, with Children and Husband as Her Main Priority

Since deciding to wear the hijab, actress Revalina S Temat has become more careful in choosing the film offers that come her way. This choice reflects her commitment to align her work with her appearance changes and personal values.

"So actually from the beginning, maybe I’m just being more selective," said Revalina S Temat in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, Saturday (5/7/2025).

The actress, born on November 26, 1985, also openly explains the reasons behind her decision to be more selective in taking roles. Reva, as she is affectionately called, feels the need to align the characters she plays with her current image of wearing the hijab.

"Because my appearance now doesn't allow me to take on roles like horror, that's just not possible anymore. So indeed, I have to be more selective," she said.

In addition to the horror genre, which she feels is no longer relevant, Revalina also has specific considerations for certain types of characters. The mother of two feels that antagonistic roles are less suitable for her at this time.

"Because I am now wearing a hijab, it is impossible for me to play antagonistic characters like before. I feel like I'm less suitable for horror roles, you know," she said.

"Even though there are now many horror films where the main characters wear hijabs or whatever, but for me, it seems like I'm not really suitable for that," she added.

Not only about roles, Revalina also prioritizes quality time with her family in her shooting schedule. This former model hopes that the production schedule does not take away her weekends.

"Weekends usually feel like I don't want to, if possible, I prefer not to have any activities, because it's family day," she said.

Family is indeed the top priority for this star of the soap opera Bawang Merah Bawang Putih. Every offer that comes in, the blessing from her husband and children becomes a determining factor.

For Revalina, the approval from her closest ones is the key before making decisions regarding her work. This shows how important family support is in every step of her career.

"Yes, of course, if it's about the husband, he is number one. You have to ask for permission, otherwise it's dangerous, especially with the children," she concluded.
