The Story of Ayu Ting Ting Who Always Performs Wudhu Before Makeup, The Prayers of Her Parents Accompanying Every Step

Since she was in school, Ayu has been used to singing from stage to stage. She admits there have been many ups and downs in her long journey to her career today.

“There are many ups and downs, but the process is not easy. Since middle school, I've been singing here and there, making money,” said Ayu, who linked all of this to her parents' blessing.

Not only moral support, but her mother also always includes a special prayer before Ayu performs. In fact, this ritual is still being carried out until now.

“But what is clear is Alhamdulillah, this is what is usually done; my mother prays almost every day from morning until noon without fail. So she always prepares the water for Yasin,” said Ayu.

Not to be left out, her father also plays an important role before Ayu performs on stage. Ayu's father always reminds her to keep her heart clean before putting on makeup.   “That’s what I always drink every day before an event; my father always reminds me to perform ablution before makeup. This is true,” said Ayu.

Ayu also vividly remembers how her parents have supported her dream of becoming a singer from the very beginning. She feels that all those hopes have now come true thanks to the continuous flow of prayers.   “What’s clear from my parents is that they want me to be a singer, an artist. And thank God it has come true, Allah hears my prayers,” she said.

Ayu admits that her life was far from being sufficient in the past. She is not ashamed to share her family's simple background.   “I was not born into a rich family. Everything has been very special from the past until this moment,” Ayu said.

Now, when performing on a big stage, Ayu often remembers the early days of her career that were full of challenges. In fact, she admits that she was often asked to sing whenever there was an opportunity.   “If there’s a singing stage, if there’s a chance to sing, I just want to be whatever I’m told to do, hahaha,” Ayu said.
