She enrolled at a fashion design college and studied fashion for a while before quitting after a few months, saying, "Because my interest in the course dwindled after a while",[3] and accepting an offer to star in Qaisy & Laila.[4] She was discovered by film producer-director Datin Rosnani Jamil.[5]

In the Gol & Gincu film, Fazura played Putri, a bubbly-energetic girl who was suddenly dumped by her boyfriend Eddy (Ashraf Sinclair) for Sasha (Sazzy Falak), who then decides to try and win over Eddy's heart by starting her own futsal team.

In 2005, Fazura, for the first time, landed the main role on a television series, Inspirion. The series, directed by Rashid Sibir and starring Eizlan Yusof, was broadcast on TV3. In 2006, Gol & Gincu went on a commercial TV series. The series premiered on June 4, 2006.

2007–2008: films and TV drama

[edit]

Fazura played the lead role in the 2007 film Kayangan and was cast in two TV drama series, Datin Diaries and Kasih Suci. Fazura co-starred alongside two Indonesian actors in both Kayangan and Kasih Suci. Kayangan was released on August 9, 2007, but was considered a box-office failure. In the same year, Fazura went back to her career as a TV host to become a VJ on MTV Asia network channel.

She hosted shows called MTV Jus and MTV Pop Inc. throughout the year. Fazura also reprised her role as Putri for the second season of the hit Gol & Gincu The Series, which aired starting on July 8, 2007. In 2008, Fazura co-starred in the film Selamat Pagi Cinta, playing Julia with Pierre Andre, Sharifah Amani and Que Haidar.[6] Later that year, Fazura was cast in another TV series playing the title character in Ezora.[7] Premiered on May 19 on TV3, the TV series was one of the hit drama series during the period.[7] It premiered only for one season.[7] Also in 2008, Fazura guest-starred on a horror TV series called Keliwon.[8]

2009–2014: TV movie and drama

[edit]

In 2009, Fazura starred in Pisau Cukur,[9] Fazura played a character named Intan who went on a vacation on a luxury cruise ship to cheer up her best friend Bella, played by Maya Karin. While on the ship, they encountered three Datuks, their wives and two children, one private detective and one die-hard fan of Bella's. The film was released on November 5, 2009 and became a box-office hit.[10] It was the first time Fazura and Maya Karin had made a film together.[11]

In the same year, Fazura was chosen to host a reality program show alongside Rusdi Ramli called Anak Wayang as well as Malaysia's sport entertainment programme on ESPN Star Sports MyEG Xtra Time! alongside Marion Caunter. In 2010, Fazura signed on as Katerina/Kate, one of the central characters in the novel adaptation film, Lagenda Budak Setan. Fazura acted in an Islamic theme drama series and its television movie, Kitab Cinta and Tahajjud Cinta for Al-Hijrah, respectively.

In 2012, Fazura opened a boutique called House Of Doll, located in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.[12] Her only film that year was Bujang Terlajak, alongside comedians Saiful Apek, Johan and Nabil. The following year, Fazura returned to the small screen in a 13-episode drama on TV3, "Kisah Cinta", alongside Shaheizy Sam.

Fazura returned to the silver screen in early 2014 with the release of the horror-comedy "Kami Histeria", followed by the psychological-drama thriller "Tembus" in the middle of 2014 and "Manisnya Cinta Di Cappadocia" in December. Fazura won the Best Actress Award at the 27th Malaysia Film Festival Awards for "Manisnya Cinta Di Cappadocia".[13] She also released her first single, "Sayangi Dirimu"[14] and was chosen to star in E!'s first Malaysian miniseries title, "Facing Up to Fazura".[15] The series premiered on December 14, 2014, on E!

At the same time, she released a new single called "Bangun", created by Lea Ismail (The Wak Lu's), one of the band members who was also involved in the mini-showcase that was being held at Hard Rock Cafe Melaka in the same month. At the time, Fazura had announced that she was planning to produce a mini-album which would consist of about seven songs.[21] On October 18, 2015, Fazura appeared live in a mini-showcase at Hard Rock Cafe, Melaka, alongside her band, "The Wak Lu's", and performed eight songs.[22] She also collaborated with a local alternative rock band, Estranged, in a ballad called "Hancur Aku". Their official music video currently has more than 12 million views on YouTube.[23]

Fazura's most recent film, Langit Cinta, was released on January 7, 2016.[24] She also plays Janet in the Indonesian film Bulan Terbelah Di Langit Amerika.[25] She told reporters in an interview that she will be involved with two film projects in Indonesia, apart from a joint discussion with Astro Shaw for her new film.[21]
