Celebrity couple Sonny Septian and Fairuz A. Rafiq revealed their exercise routine together, especially after Sonny recovered from illness. Previously, Sonny experienced narrowing of the blood vessels in his brain and neck and was diagnosed with a mild stroke. So Sonny underwent treatment in hospital for 24 days.
“When it comes to sports, thank God, now we can do it again. Since my husband is healthy, now we can exercise together,” said Fairuz when met by Media Indonesia after the Annual Sisesa Fashion Show, which was held at The Ritz Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place, South Jakarta , Wednesday (6/11).
Fairuz added that Sonny’s condition was getting better so he could race while exercising. Yes, their choice of exercise is walking.
“I can race, walk fast. At first I was following him (Sonny) slowly,” said Fairuz.
“That’s how happy I am, that’s how happy I am to see my husband’s health. His progress is extraordinary,” he continued.
On the same occasion, Sonny said that before he recovered from his illness, he still couldn’t walk and had to be carried. But, now, he can walk fast. However, Sonny is not allowed to lift heavy objects.
In a household, of course you need to support each other, including carrying out the role of husband or wife when one of them is sick. This was done by Sonny and Fairuz.
“Usually he (Sonny) is the one who lifts the chair for me. Now I’m the one lifting the chair for him. So it’s my turn, I lift the chair,” said Fairuz. (M-3)

**Interview with Fairuz A Rafiq**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Fairuz. We understand that you’ve made significant personal sacrifices recently. Can you tell us about your decision to step back from work during Sonny’s recovery?
**Fairuz A Rafiq:** Thank you for having me! Yes, it was a tough decision but one that felt right. Sonny means the world to me, and when he fell ill, I knew I needed to be by his side to support him fully. It wasn’t easy not working, but my priority is to ensure he has the care and love he needs during this time.
**Interviewer:** It speaks volumes about your commitment. How has Sonny’s recovery process influenced both your lives?
**Fairuz A Rafiq:** It has definitely brought us closer. We’ve learned so much about each other through this journey. After he recovered, we even started an exercise routine together, which has been a great bonding experience for us. It’s a reminder of the importance of health and how we need to take care of ourselves, especially after going through a tough time.
**Interviewer:** That sounds wonderful! How do you balance being a caretaker while also taking care of yourself?
**Fairuz A Rafiq:** It’s a challenge, but I’ve learned to carve out time for self-care. It’s essential to be healthy and happy myself so I can be there for Sonny. We motivate each other to stay active and positive, which makes all the difference.
**Interviewer:** What advice would you give to others who might find themselves in a similar situation of supporting a loved one through health struggles?
**Fairuz A Rafiq:** I would say, don’t neglect your well-being. It’s beautiful to care for someone, but it’s equally important to care for yourself. Communicate openly and find ways to share the load, whether it’s through exercise, hobbies, or simply spending quality time together. Remember, you’re in this together.
