Amber Ray has talked about her relationship with ex-husband Zaheer Jhanda after many years. Zaheer is the current Nyaribari Chache MP after he won at the just concluded general elections.

Zaheer was in the public eye when he dated Amber Ray a few years back. In August 2018, Amber Ray publicly announced that she was no longer dating the politician turned businessman Zaheer Jhanda.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, the mother of one said she met Zaheer while she was very broke and he gave her a life she had never had before.

However, Amber said the politician told her he did not have a wife although he had two children.

"I was fired from the job that I was doing since I was going through depression after breaking up with my baby daddy and things were not working in my life. The job required me to smile a lot which was not possible at that time. I was called to feature in a music video as a vixen and coz I did not have anything else, I had to go and get paid the 5k," she narrated.

It was during that video shoot that she met Zaheer.

"The guy did not have a ring when he approached me. There were other beautiful girls there. He said Hi, and asked for my number and that is how it all began," she said.

During the relationship, Amber said that there was not a single sign that he was married.

Amber said that he would introduce her to his friends as his wife and that assured Amber that was her dream man.

"He never mentioned to me that he was married and there were no signs he was a married man. There were no phone calls. He would leave me with his phone and allow me to pick up his calls. He only told me he had two kids and they lived together with their mum and a nanny. He took me everywhere he was going and introduced me to his friends in the political world as his wife. These are top politicians."

Amber Ray said that she even met President Uhuru when they were dating.

"He is the guy that made me meet Mr. President in Eldoret. We went to receive President Uhuru Kenyatta in Eldoret. I know all these people because of him. I knew Mpango wa Kando ni wa kufichwa but this guy went with me everywhere," she said.
