Popular news anchor Lulu Hassan has taken to social media to celebrate the birthday of her husband Rashid Abdala.
In the short and sweet Instagram post, the screen siren described Abdalla, her fellow news anchor at Citizen TV, as the “favourite person” in her life.
“My favourite person was born today,” she captioned a photo of Abdalla.
Friends, fans and colleagues also jumped in to wish Abdalla a happy birthday on his special day. Taking the lead was Hassan Mugambi who opened up about having a solid friendship with the anchor.
“There are very few who will respond to your call and be there for you at 3:00am in times of need. The language of friendship is not words but meanings. There is a lot to say about the banyamulenge but today I leave it, happy birthday brother,” he wrote.

Appreciating the birthday wishes in an anecdotal throwback post, Rashid Abdalla wrote, “Nina zaidi ya asante kwenu nyote mulioipa siku yangu ya kuzaliwa maana. Na kwa sababu hiyo nimeamua kuwawekea picha kipindi hicho mimi ni bonge la handsome wacha siku hizi nimechapa. Nakumbuka vest nyingi hazikunitosha kwa jinsi gym ilivyoitikia mwilini sababu iliyonifanya nikaacha mazoezi kutokana na ushauri wa madaktari kwani walihofia nikiendelea hivyo basi hakuna nguo zingenitosha.”
He went ahead to unleash a photo he said captured the day he first cooked for Lulu and urged his fans to never give up in life.
“Picha hii ndiyo siku ya kwanza maishani kumpikia kope mkonyeza nyusi zangu @loulou_hassan msosi. Nakumbuka ilikuwa ugali lakini mboga nitazibana kwa leo. Asanteni sana, sitosita kuwashukuru. Mungu awabariki na awalinde na madhila ya dunia. Picha na jiko vyote vya @girrimani (mzee wa data) lakini unga na kitoweo tulichanga,” he added
The couple who co-present Nipashe, has never shied away from displaying their affection towards each other publicly. In a previous interview, he showered Lulu with love, saying she changed his life totally.
“Alinibadilisha maisha yangu, mimi nilikua mtukutu sana…mimi nilipenda sauti kabla ya kuona sura. Nikasikia sauti…ile sauti ilikata kama kisu kwenye moyo wangu…sikujua ni ya nani lakini nikamwambia yule jamaa aliyekua ananifanyia interview hii sauti, huyu msichana anaonekana ni mzuri..sauti ilienda sambamba na sura na tabia na kila kitu kwa hiyo sijutii,” he opened up.
The two got engaged two weeks after meeting, had a colourful wedding in 2013 and are blessed with three children; two sons and a daughter.
Just like any relationship, however, they too fall out at times. A follower on Instagram once asked Lulu how she cops working with her husband and if they do fight.
“Lol. Sio sanaaa,” she replied.
