Career

Shandy's popularity started with her role as Tita in the movie Eiffel I'm in Love . In this film, she was paired with actor Samuel Rizal, who later became her boyfriend. The couple also starred in the movie Apa Artinya Cinta?. [1] After a while, Shandy was rarely heard of. It turns out that she was busy with college and was taking care of her only child. Although Shandy is not married, she has an adopted son who 5 years old, named Reinhary Samuel Robert. [1]

While Shandy appears on movies more often than TV, it doesn't mean she's not interested in soap operas. She prefers portraying characters she can relate with, one of the namely Hareem, a soap opera which aired on Indosiar. Her appearance on the television screen can also be enjoyed through the soap Mendadak Kawin. [1]

In 2015, Shandy was back starring in the controversial film, Tarot, as Julia/Sofie and appeared in the video clip in Boy William' "Stranger In My Bed", a soundtrack for same film. [2] In addition to her acting career, Shandy also penetrated the fashion business, namely SA Collection. Her fashion business targets fashionable young women. Shandy admitted that SA Collection is not new business but has already been maintained for a long time. [3]

Personal life

Shandy is the youngest child of four siblings. Their parents are Kemas Yusuf Effendy, a Muslim and Elsye Dopong, a Christian. Her father is from Palembang, while her mother is from Manado. At the age of 3, her parents divorced. Shandy joined with her mother, while her three eldest sisters, lived with their father.

After a failed relationship with actor Roger Danuarta, Shandy later on had a romantic relationship with Samuel Rizal, her co-star in the film Eiffel I'm in Love . But their relationship also eventually ended. [1]

Shandy almost got married. Although the wedding preparations have been completed in November 2010, Shandy failed to be married to Dave Laksono, a son of minister Agung Laksono. The ceremony was supposed to take place on December 18, 2010, but was cancelled due to differences in religion. On December 12, 2011, Shandy suddenly married David Herbowo, a man of Chinese descent, who was the son of a businessman. Their wedding was held in a chapel of the Church in Bali. Her father, Kemas Yusuf Effendi, did not attend the event. [4]

Controversy

Alludes statement about fashion

Just recently,[ when? ] Shandy had decided to shift her focus to the world of fashion. When invited to be a guest star in the program, Ada Ada Aja, Shandy elaborated about the business she is currently doing. Shandy discusses a series of celebrity fashion designers, like Laudya Cynthia Bella, Nikita Willy, Syahrini and Bella Shofie. [5] Shandy commented that Bella's display dress 'butterfly' in the Red Carpet of the 2014 Global Seru Awards was considered inappropriate.

"If the theme of the event is butterfly costume party, (it will be) perfect. But when it comes to a red carpet event, ya... Maybe she was inspired by the song "Kupu-Kupu Malam", so inspired by it." [5]

said Shandy

Knowing her name quipped, Bella became offended by the statement. Through her Path account, Bella vent her anger towards Shandy with profanities and uploaded Shandy's photo news about her:

"This post is dedicated to the artist that carelessly commented about my style at the Red Carpet event of 2014 Global Seru Awards at the show Ada Ada Aja yesterday. Nothing is wrong about my fashion, it is just as the theme of the event, Pop Art Creative. My dress was just like the other artists that equally wear styles that fit the theme. You claim to be educated, but your words does not mirror you educational background!" [5]

said Bella in Path account

Apparently, the news about Bella's anger finally reached Shandy' ears. [6] Of the unwillingness to drag the problem further, Shandy wrote a clarification statement on her official Instagram account, saying:

Good evening. Over the last two days, I have read a lot in the media about my statement on the Ada Ada Aja program. Now that the news had become excessive and cornering (me), I apologize to those who feel offended or not pleased with my remarks. With all honesty, there was an element of spontaneity (when she uttered the sentence) and I did not mean to offend or hurt anyone. I simply thought of the title track ["Kupu-Kupu Malam"] without me understanding completely the meaning of the song, and that mistake of mine had created a misunderstanding. By this, I hope that the media would refrain from the discussion of this matter because I have made it clear that I had no desire to hurt anyone with my remarks or deliberately. Moreover, I have never known such parties personally because I do not want any misunderstanding. I hope my explanation and apology personally make those who feel uncomfortable can understand and no longer prejudiced. For me, if there is someone who feels hurt by words, let us keep apologizing not have to think who is right or wrong or deliberately and not intentionally. And humble yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Thank you. God bless." [6]

said Shandy in her Instagram account

Shandy insisted that she had no ill intentions at all over the commentary about Bella's fashion. But to end the misunderstanding, she apologized if what she said offended the concerned party.

Bella could not be reached for her comment related to the apology from Shandy. Bella's assistant, Datuk, was not willing to give a statement and said: "Bella is still filming the soap opera, Rajawali and she is not able to give a comment at the moment." In addition, Bella's manager, Tata Liem, also did not want to give a statement. [7]
