Kenyan actress Shix Kapienga has shared why men find it hard to date her.

Appearing in an interview with Dr Ofweneke, she shared

"Men assume am too Ghetto for them to date me."

Ofweneke questioned if it was because of her dressing

"In the ghetto I would just rock my jeans and T-shirt and move on.Why would I wear a dress."

She also shared her acting journey and her interaction with award winning actress Lupita Nyongo

"Beba beba was my first show on TV. Then came Siri, then Nairobi Half Life then Shuga 2.

The first episode of MTV Shuga premiered in 2009. The series raised awareness of HIV and Aids, peer pressure, love, and heartbreak.

Lupita Nyongo starred as Ayira, a beautiful, confident, and vivacious college student, in Shuga series 1, set in Kenya.

Shix gushed about her role in the same series as Ofweneke asked her how impactful it was

"I acted with Lupita, but do I say. umewahi tafuta tweet, well it X now, have you ever scrolled for a tweet, where she wrote and mentioned me.

Aki I have looked for it, nimetafuta hio tweet sijawahi pata, mpaka wa leo, umwewahi tafuta ile watu huweka kaa TBT, na una screenshot unashow watu? mpaka wa leo sijawahi pata, but yes we acted together,"

Shuga turned out to be a hit - airing in 40 different African countries before eventually airing internationally on 70 TV stations.

"She (Lupita) was very nice, very friendly, very humble, very loving by the way." Shix concluded
