Challenges of being mama Kayai

Although playing mama Kayai was as fun as it appeared on TV; Aisha Khavera says that it also came with its challenges.

This is because she had no idea on what acting means and why the lady on TV kept on referring to the late Mzee Ojwang as her husband. Just like any other woman, Aisha says Mzee’s wife caused a big scene a few years ago after confronting her with a warning to leave her husband!

Wacha nikuambie, kwanza nilikuwa na shida kubwa na familia ya Mzee Ojwang yenyewe. Bibi yake alikuwa amenizushia akaniambia mimi ndio nachukua bwana yake. Bibi yake hakuwa anaelewa mambo na acting, akiona kwa TV anajua ni ukweli

She went on to add;

wewewe…wacha huyo mama anaitwa Agusa wacha anizushie, wacha aniletee shida. Ojwang anajaribu kumuelezea hizi vitu haziko hivo lakini anamwambia apana; huyo ndio anachukua pesa yako.
