Model, influencer, friend of Kim Kardashian and Lionel Richie, and former wife of royal Tunku Dato’ Yaacob Khyra of Malaysia – now Ezurin Khyra is trading luxury life for a traditional kampung village house, all for the reality TV show Malaysians love to hate

Some people were simply born to be in the spotlight, and the fabulous Ezurin Khyra is one of them.

The royal and former model has reached another milestone with the new season launch of Malaysian series The House, propelling her and her family to the status of reality stars.

The show, which has drawn comparisons to US series The Simple Life and isn’t unlike Korean series Hyori’s Homestay, has Khyra and her children trade in their luxury lifestyle to live in a small traditional house. Cameras capture their every move as they undertake daily chores, visit the market and make a home out of their temporary kampung village house.

So why exactly do the Malaysian public and media love her so much?

She’s an ‘It’ girl with a wardrobe worth coveting

Khyra’s claim to fame was her modelling career that splashed her across magazine covers and TV commercials from the 1990s onwards. Her youthfulness and contemporary style still manages to turn heads today. She’s also active on Instagram, offering her followers peeks at all the designer ensembles she wears and the fashion events she’s a regular at. She also has the contact list of a true A-lister; Kim Kardashian and Lionel Richie are among her friends.
