Lalla Hirayama celebrates 20 years in the TV industry

TV personality Lalla Hirayama has announced that this year will mark her 20th year in the TV industry.

The TV personality, who was named one of the Sunday Times A-listers for 2023, spoke about her path and the opportunities that the industry has provided her.

The star took to her Instagram timeline and posted a picture, she took with the rest of the celebrities named the Sunday Times A-listers for 2023. 

“20 years in the TV industry this year…. Woah- where does the time go? To be frank its been an odd ride with many assuming it’s a glamorous, easy way of filling a life. I wish it were true,” she wrote.

“To be fair, this industry has afforded me a great many opportunities; traveling the world, meeting fascinating people and seeing many beautiful things. All very exciting in the beginning- but as life becomes more fast-paced, shiny, and fake, it becomes blatantly apparent that it does not mean very much- even though so many in the industry are judged solely on ’luxuries’, social media content and social circles. But any entertainer worth their salt will always be consistent regarding their skills, talent, learning and unlearning *constantly*” Lalla added.

The Life Source founder was flooded with congratulatory comments from her loyal supports. This is what some of them had to say:

CorryLee: “Baby girl, you are A list material… It only makes sense❤️ congratulations because YOU DESERVE IT. you have always been MY most favorite media personality, no lies!!! I wish SOOOOO much more prosperity and growth for you from here on, you deserve nothing but the best of EVERYTHING.”

Another user added: “Congratulation Lalla ? very well deserved recognition ???? sending loads of of love and hugs ? ???”
