"Just be honest about it, it's no issue. The more honest you are, the easier it is for other people to accept it."

Aileen reckoned that everyone "does a little bit of editing" before posting on social media, and reiterates that "it's really no issue."

"It's better than denying it while continuing to edit your photos," she said.

When it comes to criticism about the photo enhancements, she thinks people should learn to accept the negativity.

She said: "If you get angry because of comments like that, then it's better to stay away from social media."

Not one to be hypocritical, Aileen admitted that she doesn't get angry or sad when receiving ageist comments either because she has at times regarded others based on their looks as well.

She recalled meeting a popular influencer who made a guest appearance on a show she was in and wondering why the latter looked so different in person compared to her Instagram photos.

This philosophy of accepting criticism is one Aileen applies to her work as well.

She reckoned that local dramas need to adapt to the times and heed the criticism they get to improve, in order to appeal to the younger generation and be able to compete with shows on online streaming platforms.

"I used to worry too much about things like how I look or what people think of me. But you realise that those are not important. I should just do what I want and be happy." [2]

PHOTO: Her life as it is, adds the devout Christian, is fulfilling enough. She has a steady stream of work, gets to spend time with loved ones and can while away happy afternoons at the mahjong table or the golf range.
Zoe Tay attests to the strength of their friendship. She tells The Straits Times in Mandarin: "Aileen is a very straightforward, loving and loyal person. If you are true friends with her, she will stay with you all the way until the end." [2]

  One might have expected that early brush with infamy to rein her in, but it has not toned down her personality in any way. Unlike other celebrities who tend to be cautious around reporters, she comes across as being extremely frank.
