At the age of 79, acclaimed actress Norlia Ghani is using her veteran status as an advantage, embracing the modern world of digital content creation on TikTok. Known affectionately as 'Mama', Norlia has made a name for herself by focusing on the platform, forsaking her traditional acting career due to health concerns. "Mama needs to be careful about her health," she explained, pointing out that acting roles often require long hours on set.
In her absence from drama productions, Norlia has chosen to channel her energy into TikTok, where she has successfully engaged with her fans and earned a lucrative income through product reviews, food promotions, and invitations to official events. The mother of actor Rusdi Ramli noted that creating digital content is not far removed from her original profession.
"Mama feels as if I am acting," she emphasized, highlighting that the skills used in front of the camera remain the same, whether it's for a drama or a TikTok video. Norlia expressed her gratitude to her children and fans for their support, dismissing cynical remarks about senior citizens venturing into social media.
