TV personality Rashid Abdalla has opened up about the motivation that led him to create a series that is named after his wife, Lulu Hassan.

How Lulu Hassan inspired Rashid's new show

In an interview with Mpasho, Rashid revealed that the new show, that featured renowned people like Brian Ogana was inspired by his wife.

"Lulu basically talks about the challenges that people face because Lulu is the pearl. Not many people have the pearls. So, for us to achieve anything in life, we need to work extra hard. Lulu's story shows that journey," he said.

Rashid also credited his first radio job for helping him get his first love, whom he is still with today.

"That is where I got the 'ice' of my heart (barafu wangu wa moyo). So whenever I remember my first job, I remember my first love, who I am still with," he added.
