It's been years since Adia Chan last made her TV appearance, but the 44-year-old star still sneaks out from semi-retirement from time to time. The iconic actress is making a rare come back, this time to appear in a variety show about food hosted by her good friend, Shek Sau.

"The biggest reason [for making this appearance] is because I get to work with my old friend Shek Sau and Louise Lee," Adia said. This is the first time that the two TV personalities would be working together after more than a decade.

"The last time I collaborated with Shek Sau was ten years ago. At the time, we were filming as a couple. It's been many years and he's still so fit. I'm very excited for the next time we collaborate, perhaps in a concert!," Adia said.

Adia went on a hiatus after marrying 36-year-old actor Zhang Duo. But she does not mind the age difference because Zhang has been very attentive toward her. She finds marriage life-changing, praising Zhang for being the man that changed her for the better.

"At this age, I need to pay attention to my health. Before, I used to drink three cans of soda each day. After getting married, my husband forced me to give up my unhealthy habits," she shared.

"Right now, he wakes up earlier than me every day and would place a warm glass of water by my bedside. He wants me to drink more water. He's quite attentive! His lifestyle is like a 'grandpa.' He is always telling me to be mindful of my health." 

Aside from her comeback, Adia is also busy promoting her new lingerie business in Hong Kong. She is so serious about her new venture that she often musters enough energy to stay up until 3 to 4 a.m.

Through all the hardships of running a startup, Adia is thankful for the patience and support of her husband.

"I feel like I owe him because he's been supporting me mentally and financially," she said.
