Fostering Healthy Friendships in the Entertainment Industry
The local entertainment industry is often plagued by negative assumptions regarding artists who allegedly love to badmouth their peers during social gatherings. However, presenter Anwar Sanjaya, popularly known as Anwar BAB, revealed that his inner circle operates on a completely different set of principles that prioritize mutual respect.
Speaking at the Trans TV Studio in South Jakarta, Anwar explained that his close friends, including high-profile figures like Billy Syahputra, Boiyen, and Ayu Ting Ting, choose to maintain a constructive environment. Instead of discussing other artists' personal lives, they focus their energy on sharing updates about their own careers and individual growth.

"Alhamdulillah, we never talk bad about others. When I hang out with Billy, Boiyen, Mpo Alpa, and my other friends, we just do not discuss people," Anwar shared. He added that if anyone in their circle becomes the subject of infotainment headlines, the group immediately rallies to offer genuine advice and reassurance rather than judgment.
Years of sharing the stage and working long hours on various television programs have cemented a deep foundation of trust and openness among these performers. To unwind from their grueling shooting schedules, Anwar noted that the group prefers engaging in simple, refreshing activities like taking spontaneous culinary road trips to Puncak together.
