Giving pointers on how to ensure one beautiful reaps from the industry the seasoned actress advised creatives to learn to take their roles more seriously, fully invest in them, and position themselves in a manner that will make them marketable.

This new show which has been produced by Rashid Abdalla and Lulu Hassan of Jiffy Pictures will be Sarah's comeback to the screens as she has been away for the last half year.

Years later, when the opportunity presents itself for Nina to claim her rightful place, Bosco and Fridah pass off their biological daughter Lola as Nina, denying Nina a chance to meet her real family and live the life she was meant to live.
