Minne Kariuki describes her breakup with her ex due to an inappropriate car present

Kenyan actress Minne Kariuki, famed for her portrayal in ‘Single Kiasi,’ recently shared a personal anecdote that garnered attention and stirred curiosity.

During an honest conversation on Pulse Kenya’s Story Time show, Minne recounted a significant moment in her romantic journey that sparked an unexpected revelation.

She recounted how a potential romantic interest made a critical misstep in his choice of gift, unwittingly unveiling his incompatibility with her.

“It was the instant I realized I didn’t have feelings for him,” Minne admitted, recalling the day she received a Toyota Vitz instead of the coveted Mercedes. This mismatched gift served as a wake-up call for Minne, highlighting a stark disparity between her expectations and her suitor’s understanding.

Yet, Minne’s narrative transcends mere materialism; it delves into her values and aspirations, both on and off the screen.

Her character Mariah in ‘Single Kiasi’ mirrors her own affinity for luxury, portraying a modern influencer whose lifestyle is funded by affluent older men. Through Mariah, Minne explores the nuances of social media and the pressure to uphold a curated image.

However, in reality, Minne’s love story diverges from this portrayal. Happily wedded to Charles Muigai, also known as Lugz Kenya, Minne discovered her ideal partner beyond the glitz and glamour of her on-screen persona.

Their journey, commencing in 2012, culminated in a traditional wedding ceremony in December 2021, marking the commencement of a joyful marital life and parenthood.

Despite her success in acting, Minne’s entrepreneurial spirit shines bright. From her roles in ‘Tabasamu’ to ‘The Real Housewives of Nairobi,’ she continues to enthrall audiences with her versatility.

Beyond the limelight, Minne has ventured into the construction industry, showcasing her resilience and business prowess in the face of adversity.
