JAKARTA - The couple El Rumi and Syifa Hadju were again tapped to be the stars of an advertisement for a Ramadan campaign. The two shared various exciting stories and challenges they faced during the shooting process.

For Syifa, every process of shooting an ad with El always feels memorable.

"Shopee is one of the ones who have ever met us on TVC, yeah. So it's a special experience for the two of us," he said in South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 11.

This time the shooting felt different because it was done outdoors. The biggest challenge was the unpredictable weather.

El Rumi added that there was another challenge that was no less difficult, namely holding back laughter. If they are usually free to joke, this time they have to be able to show a romantic side in front of the camera.

"Usually it's often romantic, but this time we have to be romantic in front of the camera so we also have to practice laughing," said El.

The atmosphere at the shooting location also became more competitive.

"I was also yesterday like quickly neat with Syifa like she wasn't ready, I was ready," he said.

In addition to romantic scenes, they also have to do some choreography moves. This is a challenge in itself, especially for El who admits that he is not very good at dancing.

"I'm not too good at dancing, we actually dance in front of Syifa, she also treats it," complained El in a joking tone.

Despite being full of challenges and laughter, the two admitted that they really enjoyed every process. For El, this project is a blessing of Ramadan that came early.
