Sharifah Nor Azean binti Syed Mahadzir Al-Yahya (born 30 May 1983), better known by her stage name Scha Al-Yahya, is a Malaysian model, actress and TV host,[1] who plays the lead character Dania, a tomboy who struggles to achieve her dream of becoming a flight attendant, in the highly-rated TV series Awan Dania aired on Astro Ria for three seasons.[2]
Scha was born in Sungai Petani, Kedah[3] to a family of Malay, Hadhrami Arab and Chinese descent. She is the second of four siblings.[4] She holds a diploma in information technology from PTPL College, Shah Alam and previously worked as a flight stewardess in the local commercial airline, Airasia. She quit flying when she started her career after winning the Dewi Remaja beauty pageant organised through Majalah Remaja, a local Malaysian Malay-language teen magazine, in 2006.[5] Al-Yahya was then cast in a role by director Azizi "Chunk" Adnan.
Scha married Awal Ashaari on May 4, 2012, after three years of dating. They met in 2008 when they co-hosted a reality series called Sehati Berdansa.[6] Awal surprised her with his proposal live on TV through Propaganza, a local gossip TV programme guest-hosted by the actress.[7] The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter they named Lara Alana, on July 22, 2014.[8] Their second daughter was born via caesarean on 12 February 2021, and her name was revealed to be Lyla Amina.[9]
