- In 2003, Misha and another female artiste, Sarah Raisuddin, has been rumored to be competing with each other. At early stage, Misha was quite overshadowed by Sarah and her noncooperation with local media further hindered her from gaining public awareness.

Misha was stated as Siti's subject of jealousy over her status as Malaysia's Next Sweetheart after Siti. The case was closed by Malaysian High Court and Sharifah Aini was freed from further accusations.
- In 2006, Misha got braces on her teeth and it created some issues from fans in terms of her new appearance. Misha opened up her braces on October 2009 and launched her new style.
- In 2007 Misha and Superstar Jamal Abdillah were gossiped in a relationship over he intimate performance together at Jamal Abdillah's One Nite Only at Istana Budaya in Concert. Jamal admitted he has some great feelings for Misha, but according to him, marriage is not in his best interest at the moment.
