Rashid Abdalla and Lulu Hassan stand as revered figures in Kenyan journalism, commanding respect and admiration for their exceptional work. As stalwarts of Royal Media Services, they are celebrated as the foremost Swahili presenters in the country, their influence extending far beyond the confines of the television screen. Not only do they excel in front of the camera, but their talents extend to the realm of scriptwriting, with notable contributions to cinematic productions such as the beloved “Maria” and “Sultana” series.
Despite their prominence, the personal lives of Rashid Abdalla and Lulu Hassan remain shrouded in mystery, largely due to their demanding schedules and the nature of their profession, which leaves little room for public appearances or interviews.
Their journey as a couple began in 2007, when they forged a bond that transcended professional collaboration, choosing to share their lives together even before formalizing their union in marriage. What sets their relationship apart is a commitment to values that are often overlooked in modern society. In a candid interview with True Love Magazine, Rashid Abdalla revealed a poignant detail of their bond: their decision to preserve intimacy for marriage.
Abdalla’s declaration, “Oh no, I knew my wife in that sense only after marriage,” speaks volumes about their respect for tradition and each other’s dignity. He proudly recounts the symbolic significance of the white cloth that symbolized Lulu’s virginity on their wedding night, a testament to her virtue and his reverence for her honor. For Abdalla, breaking that seal was not merely a physical act, but a profound affirmation of finding the partner he had prayed for, a sentiment echoed in his admiration for Lulu’s beauty, both inwardly and outwardly.
Fifteen years into their journey together, Rashid Abdalla and Lulu Hassan remain steadfast in their commitment to each other, their bond fortified by love, respect, and shared values. Theirs is a union free from the taint of scandal, blessed with the joy of three children and the tranquility of a harmonious family life. Amidst the glitz and glamour of their profession, they have chosen to carve out a sanctuary of serenity in the suburbs, where they savor the simple pleasures of domestic bliss, a testament to the enduring power of love and fidelity in an ever-changing world.
