Kapanlagi.com - Remember Akademi Fantasi Indosiar or AFI? One of the participants in this singing talent search event is named Rini Astuti or commonly known as Rini AFI.
During the competition, Rini was one of the contestants who attracted the attention of the judges and audience. Her calm appearance and soft voice successfully captured everyone's attention.
Moreover, her last performance singing the song Kupu-Kupu during the elimination round is still fondly remembered by many. So, how is Rini doing now?
1. Wearing Hijab Starts Unintentionally
In a vlog by Adi Nugroho some time ago, Adi had a video call conversation with Rini. After a long absence, Rini apparently has been wearing hijab and chose the path of hijrah.
Rini then shared the story of the first time she wore hijab. It started unintentionally and has continued until now.
"When did you start wearing hijab? One day after getting married. It was unintentional too. Maybe at first it was just because I got married and the next day there was an event at home," said Rini AFI, quoted from Adi Nugroho's YouTube channel.
"Since I was a bit late and didn't have time to go to the salon, didn't have time to fix my hair, didn't have time to do anything, so I hurriedly borrowed my mother's headscarf after arriving home," she continued.
2. Reluctant to Remove the Headscarf
That day became one of the moments that eventually transformed Rini into who she is now. Since then, she has grown attached to her hijab and wearing it is not forced by anyone.
"After that event, I felt reluctant to remove the headscarf. That's it, and it has continued until now. So there is no coercion, no one told me to wear it, it came naturally," she explained.
"I am grateful for that until now," she added.
From several circulating information, Rini has been married to her husband since 2010. So until now, she has been wearing hijab for almost 10 years.
