Actress Minney Kariuki has revealed that at one point, she almost gave up on her acting career. Well, 2023 was both a big and a tragic year for the actress.
She made her return in the drama series Single Kiasi and also starred in The Real Housewives of Nairobi.
On that same year, she lost her child through a miscarriage.
On what she felt like when she got pregnant? She said;
"I was elated but I was very nervous because, you know, the first three months are the most crucial ones. And I lost my child last year when the baby was nine weeks old. So I would say it was just mixed feelings. I was happy, but still very nervous. This far I've gotten, I'm just practising gratitude every day because it's something that should not be taken lightly, carrying a child until the last term. And we have really waited for this blessing and just being able to expand our family makes me very happy."
She is currently pregnant.
Fans have compared her character on Single Kiasi with Minne Kariuki on The Real Housewives of Nairobi.
"Mariah on Single Kiasi and Minne Kariuki on The Real Housewives are two different people. What do you mean? As Minne, I’m focused on my family and business and Mariah isn’t. But probably character wise, in terms of the confidence, they could be similar in the sense that we both speak out for ourselves and are very expressive. But I think that’s where the similarities end because they are on opposite sides of the spectrum."
