• The couple has consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism throughout their years of working together on Citizen TV.

This past weekend, Lulu Hassan and her husband Rashid Abdalla stunned fans with a lively conversation that unfolded after a segment of their relationship show, Bi Mswafari.

The day's topic centered on women who don't treat their husband's parents well after getting married.

During the discussion, Lulu shared her opinion, saying, "Siku zote huwa tunasema wanaume ni viumbe dhaifu sana. Wanaweza danganyika haraka sana" (All the time, we say that men are very weak beings. They can be easily deceived). Rashid quickly interjected, asking, "Mwanamke hawezi danganyika?" (A woman cannot be deceived?).

The exchange started to heat up, with Lulu firmly responding, "Siwezi danganyika kama nina watoto. Watoto wangu will always come first" (I cannot be deceived if I have children. My children will always come first).

She went on to say that women are the pillars of the family, supporting their men. "Wanume ni vichwa lakini vichwa vidhaifu. Sisi ndio shingo na ikitoka kichwa kinaanguka" (Men are the heads, but they are weak heads. We are the neck, and if it gets weak, the head will fall).

Rashid, cheekily responding to his wife's remarks, asked with a hint of humour, "Na umekubali kuishi na kichwa dhaifu miaka hiyo yote?" (And you've agreed to live with a weak head all those years?).

The mature debate between Lulu and Rashid was sparked by a comment from Bi Mswafari, who urged women to love their parents-in-law, saying,

"Kama huwaangalii wazazi wake vizuri huyu bwana atakudhamini vipi? Kesho kama hayuko duniani utawaangalia wale wazazi?" (If you don't take good care of his parents, how will this man trust you? Tomorrow, if he is no longer in this world, will you take care of those parents?).
