Actress Happy Salma worked hard to play her role as dangdut singer in theater show #3Perempuanku, Bukan Bunga Bukan Lelaki (#My3women, Not Flowers Not Men).
Despite having experience performing the jaipong traditional dance, Happy found it hard to shake her hips like a dangdut singer.
'[When I was practicing], a friend told me 'you are not moving your hips','she was quoted as saying by tribunnews.com.
The monolog, adapted from Putu Farjar Arcana's book titled Monolog Politik (Political monolog), tells the story of three women of different social classes who are all married to a gangster-turned-politician in Jakarta.
During Saturday's performance, directed by Rangga Bhuana Riantiarno, Happy shared the stage with presenter Olga Lydia and former president Abdurrahman 'Gus Dur' Wahid's daughter Inayah Wahid.
