Guess What? Dian Nitami

Guess What? Dian Nitami

Popular couple Dian Nitami and her husband Anjasmara died and
turned into beautiful butterflies. Is it true? Yes. But it's only
a scene from Javanese-comedy show Ketoprak Humor's Sampek Engtay.

The couple's appearance in the legendary Chinese romantic
comedy was a nice surprise. In the show, which will be aired by
RCTI on Feb. 19, Anjasmara played as Sampek and Dian as Engtay.

"It's thrilling to join this show. This is not my first time,
so I'm not too nervous. But there are some scenes that we do not
know about, like a sudden explosive sound. The sound really
surprised me," said Dian, who married Anjasmara on June 17 last
year.

Both Anjasmara and Dian said that for such shows, fees did not
matter. "Our fees are second priority. The most important thing
is that we are helping with a traditional show. Besides, we also
get valuable experience," said Anjasmara, who has worked in
similar productions, Ludruk Glamor.

"In this show, we learn something. The need to improvise.
These people (other stars) are masters of improvisation. We can't
beat them," Dian added.

Thanks to their previous experience in such shows, the couple
were not surprised when no script was available.

"In sinetron, we depend on the script, but we don't have one
here. We're just given the plot and then we improvise... the fun
thing is that our mistakes are greeted with laughter by the
audience," said Dian.

The show's popularity has packed the audience, including
Teater Koma's director, N. Riantiarno, who was restaging a play
of the same title at Teater Tanah Airku in Taman Mini Indonesia
Indah in East Jakarta. (Endi Aras)
