HARIAN Metro highlighted sexy local actress Rozita Che Wan as denying gossip that she is in a romantic relationship with Selangor footballer Asrarudin Putra Omar.

The gossip came about after Rozita, 32, was seen with her actress sister Ayu Raudhah at the Malaysia-Manchester United (MU) football match in which Asrarudin was also playing.

Rozita, 32, said they were friends and she was comfortable sharing stories with Asrarudin, 21.

Ayu is now dating popular national football player Mohd Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak, who is the twin brother of football player Aidil Zafuan who is married to popular actress Rita Rudani.

Rozita said she had spent enough time denying gossips linking her with VIPs.

"My son is an MU fan and Asrarudin was playing that night. As a friend, why can't I show my support for him.

"Because of the gossip, I don't feel comfortable continuing my friendship with him," she said.
