Trivia

[edit]

1. The drama Khunsa gets support and advice from certified health experts and the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) in terms of religion to ensure the storyline is realistic and does not conflict with personalities.

2. The idea of this drama started in 2020 when Shahrulezad wanted to find a different story of benefit and awareness to the community, even he ran away from the drama phenomenon Nur. However, the "Khunsa" drama project will only be moved in 2022. He said the 28-episode drama was once rejected by a TV station for certain reasons, only Astro approved it.

3. Sherry Alhadad first brought an evil character to find a difference after she brought a comedy character synonymous with herself.

4. The filming location was carried out in a replica house located in Paya Wetland, Dengkil while the rest were in Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

5. Mhia Firdaus who played the role of Che Khun (14 - 20 years old) is the daughter of director Pitt Hanif (real name Firdaus Hanif) and her mother Farah Ahmad who played the same role for the age of 50.
