Now with Longer Hair, 9 Photos of Ivander Damares, Inul Daratista's Child, Who Admits He Wants to Act in Soap Operas and Start a Business - His Mother Sets Conditions

Here is one of the latest portraits of Ivan, who is growing his hair long. Inul acknowledged that Ivan has a strong desire to try various fields. While supporting Ivan's wishes, Inul has her own standards before allowing him to act. 

"It's okay, but he has to be handsome first. He needs to have all his good looks sorted out, then his intelligence, and then his body language, all of that has to be in sync," Inul explained.

"So it's not just wanting to be in the industry because his parents are artists. Just because there's media, no. He needs to have a complete set of qualities within himself," she added.

According to Inul, Ivan's desire to enter the soap opera world is not merely because of his parents' big names, but it must be supported by his own qualities. Interestingly, Ivan is not too keen on being exposed in the media.

"My child doesn't want to be exposed like that. He doesn't want to depend on his mom and dad. He wants to stand on his own, without having to rely on his parents," Inul revealed.

Ivan wants to succeed with his own business, without relying too much on his parents. As a wise mother, Inul continues to fully support Ivan's interests, both in the business world and in soap operas.

"If you want to be in a soap opera, that's fine, mom will guide you. As long as you have the intention and determination about where you want to go. But so far, I haven't directed him and I haven't forced him," said Inul.

Although she is open to her child's interests, Inul still prioritizes Ivan's education. She hopes Ivan will finish school well before diving into the entertainment or business world.

"The important thing is his desire, after all, high school is, in international terms, mostly about working more than writing. So I hope, just until he graduates high school. He must graduate, focus first," she said.
