In addition to Amanda Manopo, the beloved actor Aliando Syarief has also attracted public attention. His name has soared again since he played as Dono in WARKOP DKI REBORN. His appearance, which was completely transformed to resemble Dono, impressed the public with the effort he put in as a professional actor. He, who is known for his handsome looks, received praise for his bravery in presenting a different image as Dono.

Aside from his professionalism, it turns out Aliando suffers from a mental illness called OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. This condition causes the sufferer to have intrusive and unwanted thoughts and fears. People with this illness often feel compelled to perform compulsive actions to alleviate the anxiety caused by their obsessions. One compulsive action that Aliando has done is hoarding trash in his room to the point where he couldn't move.
