KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — At 79, veteran artiste Norlia Ghani is not allowing her age to stand in the way of staying relevant, having now made a name for herself as an active content creator on TikTok.
However, Norlia, who affectionately refers to herself as ‘Mama’, said her transition to the digital platform was driven by health considerations, although she continues to receive acting offers.
“Mama has to be selective about the roles she takes on because of her age. At this stage of life, I need to take care of my health as I am no longer as strong as I used to be, so I have to be more careful.
“Filming also involves long hours on set. Occasionally, Mama will accept acting offers. If there are none, Mama focuses on TikTok,” she told Bernama after the Tribute and Appreciation Programme for National Veteran Figures, held in conjunction with the 35th Malaysian Film Festival (FFM) at Finas in Hulu Kelang yesterday.
