He hasn’t been very active in the local showbiz scene for the past seven years.

So it took many by surprise when Malaysia-based Singaporean actor Aaron Aziz beat Channel 8’s biggest stars like Fann Wong, Jeanette Aw and Rui En for the title of Singapore’s Most Popular Actor at the inaugural Social Media Awards held at Marina Bay Sands last Friday.

But nobody was more stunned than Aaron himself.

He said: “How could I possibly win on the Singapore front since I haven’t been active in Singapore for quite a while?”

His score could be attributed to his solid online fanbase.
