Former Nairobi Diaries cast member Maya better known as Maya Ng'ang'a says she has never been a miraa addict as portrayed on the reality show.

Maya noted that she has friends who use miraa and one day they influenced her to use it.

She said:

Out of curiosity, I asked them why they were using it. They said it helped them feel better after drinking alcohol. That is when I took miraa for the first time.

Maya was with her fellow cast member Barbie, who recorded her, and that is how people got to know that she took miraa. She also noted that she has friends who are in the corporate world but still use miraa.

I have used it like four times and the last time I took it was when I had a shoot at night. I called a friend who brought it to me. 

The reality star also revealed that some of the lowest moments for her in Nairobi Diaries were when she was involved in fight scenes.

I could be shooting and the time we engaged in fights was so low for me. Coming from a fight and mingling with people after the show was so hard, especially because I came from a clean background.

She maintained:

It was degrading and low for me. I fought twice in the show and the respect people had for me was lowering. You have to interact with a lot of people so when you are in their midst, they are talking about you for the worst reasons ever.

She concluded saying although she was in the show, she was never happy, as she could not predict what would happen in a scene.

A lot of the shoots were cut but I would never plaint my hair because we would always start a fight. I would have liked to quit before but because I am not a quitter, I had to wait until the last season comes to the end.

She said her father even questioned her why she was in the show because he feared she could be harmed.

Maya is currently running her boutique business as well as managing her family business.
