JAKARTA - Sienna, son of Ben Kasyafani from his first marriage to Marshanda, received a lot of praise from netizens, after deciding to wear the hijab from an early age. The father did not escape praise, because he was considered successful in educating children.

Even so, Ben was not completely happy with the many praises that came. Instead, he became more careful with the enormous attention of the public. The 40-year-old actor felt that the attention that came presented excessive expectations from the public.

"In the current era, sometimes we get a lot of attention, we also have to act according to the public's attention," said Ben Kasyafani in Senayan, Central Jakarta last week.

"If there are things that are not appropriate, we will continue to get corrections, comments, so just get ready when our actions may not be in accordance with the public. Not only for me, but also for Sienna," he continued.

Although proud to see his son wearing the hijab, Ben saw that there were several comments that began to attack Sienna by saying that the use of the hijab was inappropriate. For him, these comments are not quite addressed to children.

"For me, it's something that makes me proud as a parent. Because he's in a hot school, but he still wears the hijab. But yes, we're talking about an 11 year old, pre-teen, we don't know if sometimes it changes," said Ben Kasyafani.

"Hopefully from friends and the public, when something is not appropriate, calm too. Sometimes it's like 'How come?', it's already started because the comments are 'The hijab is tilted', yes, the names are also children," he added.

Ben Kasyafani also saw Marshanda support Sienna's decision to wear a hijab. Even though he admitted that there was a difference of opinion, Ben still wanted to communicate the development of his child with his biological mother.

"I'm a good student, so far, thank God it's good. Caca too, yes maybe we have something different, but he's very supportive. So we maintain communication, talk about new things that happened to Sienna. We communicate with each other, "concluded Ben Kasyafani.
