Marshanda has denied accusations that she caused her daughter Sienna Kasyafani to remove her hijab in a recent social media post. She stressed that Sienna's spiritual choices are personal and beyond her control. The firm statement was posted on Instagram.
Jakarta – Marshanda's daughter, Sienna Kasyafani, appeared without a hijab and with red-dyed hair in her latest social media post, sparking speculation that the decision was influenced by her mother, especially since they now live together. Responding to the accusations, Marshanda issued a detailed clarification on Instagram @marshanda99 on Friday, March 27, 2026. “Kalau jalan-Nya Sienna pakai hijab lagi atau tidak, itu di luar pengaruh dan kuasa saya. Arogan sekali, kalau saya merasa berhak dan bisa atur takdir Sienna lebih dari Allah SWT bisa melakukannya,” she wrote. The 36-year-old former wife of Ben Kasyafani emphasized that life choices, including faith and worship, are deeply personal. “Bukan tempatnya saya mempengaruhi pilihan hidup Sienna,” she added. She views a parent's role as accompanying, not controlling, to allow Sienna to discover her true self. “Sebagai orangtua, jangan sampai anakku Sienna ambil jalan hidup hanya untuk menyenangkan Ibunya atau Ayahnya. Saat dewasa, doaku adalah agar Sienna hidup mengenal true selfnya,” she expressed. Marshanda regards this phase as a normal part of a teenager's self-discovery and shows acceptance. Her love for Sienna remains unconditional regardless of her choices.
