Posted On: December 10, 2023

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Many artists have decided to leave the Indonesian entertainment world, temporarily or permanently.

Several reasons pushed them to make this decision, for example entering the political world, changing professions, or even focusing more on their family.

One of them is Gisela Cindy, who left for Canada in 2012 to continue her studies.

Cindy said she left the entertainment world because she felt what she was doing in the acting world was more than enough.

“For example, I keep doing it continuously, I know myself, I won’t stop. Because that’s how I love the world of cinema,” he said, as quoted by Kompas. com on Gisela Cindy’s YouTube show, Wednesday (9/22/2020).

Gisela Cindy has lived in Canada for almost eight years. Today he works as a store manager in a shoe company.

Bitter experience

Gisela Cindy has had many bitter and sweet experiences living her daily life in Canada.

One of them is the problem of racism because Cindy is an immigrant with a very strong Asian accent.

For a long time in Canada, the younger sister of actress Gracia Indri faced racial problems almost daily.

“There is also a lot of criticism here, because it means that as an immigrant you are also in competition with the local population,” Gisela Cindy said.

But he is determined to prove to these people that he can compete.

Indonesia is our country

The owner’s full name, Gisela Cindy Sulistyaningrum, does not deny that she has a very strong desire to reunite with her family in Indonesia.

“No matter what, Indonesia remains my home, it will never be lost. So I will always have the idea of going back,” said Gisela Cindy.

However, as for returning to the entertainment world in Indonesia, he does not know the answer for now.

“Yes, I miss it. But starting back full time like before, maybe not then, not now,” Gisela Cindy said.
