Tyler Mbaya known for his role as Baha on Machachari has opened up about growing up as a celebrity. Speaking during an interview with Mungai Eve, he shared;
"Growing up as a star is bittersweet. The fun side is you get so much appreciation from older people. Guys my age would be asked to look up to me as I was doing something productive. It was easier for me to interact with older people."
Baha says the bad side was being expected to live to a certain standard.
"The bitter side is people who put so many expectations on you. People expect you to live a holy life, you can't do some things."
Adding;
"Growing up I was so afraid of failure to avoid being shunned. That made me live in so much fear. As a celebrity star you have to be a role model by virtue, but I learned I would only learn by failing."
Baha says the loss of his parents made him toughen up.
"My parents died when I was young. In 2017 is when I started seeing life for what it is. People who put standards on you as a kid ruin your life without realizing it.
I never lived a normal life, I was busy cramming lines. It takes dedication to cram lines, I used to shoot on weekends."
