Globally celebrated veteran Thespian and film artist Abel Mutua has finally set the record straight over his widely publicized kiss with actress and movie director Sarah Hassan.

Abel had been accused of abusing his power as a scriptwriter to satisfy his desires by a couple of netizens after an undated video of him speaking about his time at Tahidi High resurfaced online.

In the said short video, Abel could be seen heartily recounting how Sarah had been giving him a hard time and when he got an opportunity to write the last few episodes of the beloved show he included a kiss scene between them. A move that has now landed him in trouble with some social media users.

Touching on the topic finally, the father of one maintains that things were taken out of context by people who misunderstood his remarks.

"Now that is the fault of whoever who highlighted just that part and started the rumours they clearly did not watch that podcast well or to the end.

In that podcast, that story was not about Abel Mutua, Dennis Mugo and Sarah Hassan. It was about their characters, Freddie, OJ and Tanya. As you can recall the audience used to highly vouch for OJ and Tanya to be together, they did not want Freddie to win the conquest.

So as a writer, I decided to ''beat the audience' and take the story in a path that they did not expect, and that was all our characters not in real life," Abel, who mostly goes by the moniker Mkurugenzi said during a phone call with Ankali Ray.

He went on to remind keyboard warriors that at the time he was already with his now wife, talent manager and producer, Judy Nyawira and their daughter Mumbus was 1.

The creative writer also pointed out how they were one big family of adoring siblings during their entire time shooting Tahidi High.

"The girl who shared it and started the whole fiasco made it look like it was in real life and not creative writing. And what people are forgetting is at that time we were all in relationships. I had a partner and a very small baby, she was a year old actually, Mugo was also seeing someone and Sarah as well," Abel calmly stated.

Finishing up he added;

"It was a character war not a war between ourselves but ain't that the work of social media. People take things out of context and misconstrue them for views but my real fans truly understand what I meant and they've been rallying up behind me with full force.

I wish you all were in our inner circle back then just to see how we used to relate with each other. We were brothers and sisters, I never fancied Sarah, we operated very well. Can you imagine during our entire shoot of Tahidi High there was no relationship between cast members outside the script.

Not a single relationship. The only one that was there was between the principle Mrs Ng'atia and Omosh because in real life they are husband and wife."
