Sheila Dara Aisha has won her second Piala Citra, this time taking home Best Leading Actress at the 2025 Indonesian Film Festival for her performance in "Sore: Istri Dari Masa Depan". The win holds special significance as Sheila was a devoted fan of the original "Sore" web series when it aired back in 2017.
The film recently screened across Australia in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, where Sheila met with local audiences.
When asked what stood out most from touring the film internationally, Sheila said seeing audiences outside Indonesia enthusiastically discuss the movie after watching it brought her the greatest joy.
