As TRUELOVE commemorates its 14 years of keeping you inspired, in this celebration issue, we share Sarah Hassan’s motivating journey to stardom, and reveal her spirit of positivity that kept her eyes on the goal.
It is safe to say that Sarah Hassan, is the queen of keeping her personal life private. Even though the limelight has been on her since she debuted on our screens through the TV drama series Tahidi High, in 2009 as Tanya, Sarah prefers to keep a low profile, as far as family and personal life are concerned.
During this interview, she wouldn’t discuss or answer questions that touch on her parents, religion or family life. When probed, she simply said, ‘I’d rather not speak about them as they are very private people.’ On religion she retorted, ‘religion is a very sensitive and private matter and I chose to respect that and not comment.’ She also declined to get into details about her marriage, husband or the ceremonies related to her wedding.
She explained that for her, the story is not about peeling back her layers. No. It’s much more than that. It is about celebrating the here and now, being immersed in the moment and appreciating everything about her life.
When we met for lunch at Sierra Lounge in Yaya, she arrived on time, settles into our booth and orders a bottle of water with lemons on the side. I was curious. I ask if she is on a diet and she confessed, ‘I haven’t been to the gym since I got back from Los Angeles, but I’m seriously thinking about getting back. In LA there was motivation everywhere. Everyone around me led a healthy lifestyle so getting into a healthy regime and hitting the gym was easy.’
She was still trying to find her footing back home, having uprooted herself at the peak of her career to pursue further studies. ‘It hasn’t been easy, to be honest, but my husband has made it quite painless.’
