#SHOWBIZ: Beyond the heartache: Linda Hashim steps into a peaceful new chapter

KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Linda Hashim, formerly known as Norhazlinda Hashim, has found solace and structure following a two-year legal battle to dissolve her marriage. The 41-year-old is now embracing a new chapter as a single mother, feeling more peaceful and organized in her life. Linda, who shares three daughters - Jelita Clarissa, 12, Anggun Cassandra, 11, and Indah Camelia, 7 - with her ex-husband, actor and singer Beego, views the divorce as the beginning of a journey towards her long-held aspirations.

In a statement to BH Online, Linda expressed her gratitude for her prayers being answered, saying she can see her life moving in the direction she desired. She remains committed to her career, juggling work commitments, classes, and events while also launching her own beverage product to establish a more stable financial foundation.

Reflecting on her future, Linda has expressed her desire to become a mutawwifah (female pilgrimage guide), driven by a passion for hospitality and service. She acknowledges her limited experience but remains undeterred, understanding that every journey requires courage. For Linda, the decision to pursue this path is not financially motivated, but rather rooted in her spiritual beliefs and a heartfelt prayer made during her own Umrah. Her primary motivation is to fulfill her prayer of returning to the Holy Land regularly.
