ACTRESS Yuna Rahim revealed that she is afraid of getting hitched. The 26-year-old Diari Seorang Suami actress said she will think about getting married in 10 years’ time when she finally finds the right man, reported Harian Metro.

       “Being married is a huge responsibility and both sides need to fulfil their responsibilities with honesty.

       “A marriage is a huge step for anyone, a huge leap. So, that’s why I’m afraid to take the plunge now,” she said.

       Yuna, whose full name is Shafiqah Husna Abd Rahim, said she knows that she is at the right age to settle down.

       “But, we need to understand that when we get married, we also create ties with our partner’s family as well.

       “As I see it, I will need time to find the right husband,” she added.
