Early life

Dynas is the middle child in a family of three children. Her father is an engineer and her mother is a businesswoman. She is an Assunta Alumna, having attended both Assunta Primary School and Assunta Secondary School in Petaling Jaya.

Career

In 2004, at age 21, Dynas made the FHM's 100 Sexiest Women list, boosting her career and making her an A-list actress and supermodel in Malaysia and Indonesia.[1]

Modelling

Her modelling career took off when, at age seventeen, she was offered modelling positions in television and print commercials. She began her career as a catwalk model with various modelling agencies and was also featured in advertisements for KFC, Celcom, Dunhill, Pepsi, Knorr, Nestlé and HSBC Malaysia.

TV hosting

She ventured into TV hosting on Astro's Beat TV with Bront Palarae. She also hosted TV3's Si Kecil Ku Chak! in 2010, a programme for young mothers and mothers-to-be.

Acting

Dynas starred in the television series Dibawah Ketiak Isteri alongside Kencana Dewi, Leez AF5, Radhi Khalid, Bob Ahmal, Zizan, Harun Salim Bachik, et al. The series' second season ran on Astro Prima. She also starred in season three of Astro Ria's Awan Dania, and played a wicked hag in the smash hit, supernatural-themed series, Susuk for two seasons. In 2007, she landed a role in Gerak Khas, a long-running police drama series which has been broadcast on TV1 since 1999.[2]

After gaining television exposure, Dynas began acting in films, starring in Haru Biru, Cinta Kolesterol, I Know What You Did Last Raya, Impak Maksima, and dramas such as Janji Diana and Cinta Kau & Aku.

Brand ambassador

Dynas has also been a brand ambassador and spokesperson for various health and beauty products such as Safi Balqis, a halal skin care product (2008),[3] Kunzense, a slimming, beauty and wellness company (2011),[4]Qutie Coat, a whitening cream mask that improves complexion (2012) and Pet Pet, a global baby products brand (2013).[5][6]

Fashion design

In 2009, in partnership with Awal Ashaari, they opened a fashion boutique known as DnA CelebrityStyle in Desa Sri Hartamas. This business was subsequently closed and the partners ventured out on their own. Dynas launched DNA By Dynas in 2011, a new collection consisting of maternity and breastfeeding wear.[7] She designs most of her collections alongside a team of seamstresses and wholesale manufacturers. She officially launched her first boutique, Dynas Nursing Attire at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara in 2012.

Personal life

Dynas married Mohd Hafizy Hafiz on 15 March 2008. The couple has two children, a daughter Khyra Khalyssa (born 24 April 2010) and a son Mohamed Haqaish (born 15 June 2012). Her first pregnancy, in 2009, ended in premature stillbirth due to pulmonary hypoplasia. The couple divorced in early 2014, after a string of denials.[8][9]

Controversies

In October 2005, while shooting for a local drama Siti Aishah, Dynas and several crew members were arrested on suspicion of drug possession during a raid at a house in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.[10] She was released on bail and subsequently tried at the Kota Bharu Magistrates Court.[11] The charge against her was later dropped after one of the crew members plead guilty to the drug possession charge.[12]
