He has directed several of Yuna's music videos, including 'Forevermore' which has garnered international attention for its unique representation of the Malaysian culture.

Actress Wawa, who is also an entrepreneur, has reaped major success after just three years of the inception of her business, Wawa Cosmetics that she also shares with her husband. She is now considered a philanthropist alongside her husband, having donated over a million ringgit to build a mosque.

They have also ventured into charity such as donating over RM1 million zakat (almsgiving) to the Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS).

One of the most interesting facts about their marriage is how Aeril pursued Wawa secretly, keeping the information only to his family. This was because it was against her contract with her management company, and that Aeril wanted to avoid sparking public controversy.

Their 20-year age gap relationship formerly sparked the public interest, as Datuk K was a divorcee with four children.
