Atiqah Hasiholan (born 3 January 1982) is an Indonesian actress. She is best known for starring in the Academy Award submitted film Jamila dan Sang Presiden (Jamila and the President; 2009).
Hasiholan was born on 3 January 1982 to Achmad Fahmy Alhady, an Arab-Indonesian businessman, and Ratna Sarumpaet, a Batak playwright. She has three elder siblings: Mohammad Iqbal Alhady, Fathom Saulina, and Ibrahim Alhady. As a child she wanted to be a lawyer.
Hasiholan attended Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, where she studied media and psychology. On her summer holiday, she acted in her mother's theatre troup, Satu Merah Putih Panggung; her enjoyment of the activity convinced her to become an actress. She made her feature film debut in Nia Dinata's 2006 film Berbagi Suami (Love for Share). She then played in several further films, including Suster N (Nurse N; 2007), Cinta Setaman (Love Potpurri; 2008) – in which she played a prostitute – and Pintu Terlarang (Forbidden Door; 2009).
In 2009, Hasiholan starred in her mother's film Jamila dan Sang Presiden (Jamila and the President), in which she played a prostitute named Jamila who is convicted and eventually executed for killing a government minister. Initially Hasiholan viewed her character as a "regular slutty prostitute", but after thinking of the character more thoroughly and interviewing real-life sex workers, she considered Jamila a "victim of life". The film was submitted to the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, but not nominated.
