I used to hate Awinja but now she is my best friend – Wilbroda

In a candid interview, Kenyan actress and radio host Jacque Nyaminde, popularly known as Wilbroda, opened up about her unexpected friendship with former castmate Jacky Vike, also known as Awinja, from the beloved sitcom “Papa Shirandula.”

Despite their close bond today, Wilbroda admitted that she initially had reservations about Awinja’s role in the show.

During a conversation with comedian Obinna, Wilbroda revealed her initial skepticism when Awinja joined the ensemble cast.

“When she first started, I remember going to the producer and asking him why she had been brought on board because she did not know how to act,” she stated.

Describing Awinja as shy and timid in her early performances, Wilbroda recounted her own frustration, stating, “The thing is, I lack patience, and I felt that she was wasting me.”

Over time, however, the two actresses found common ground through their shared experiences on set.

Wilbroda described how Papa Shirandula himself encouraged Awinja to embrace her character, which eventually allowed her to flourish.

As their professional relationship blossomed, Wilbroda and Awinja’s camaraderie deepened, leading them to become inseparable both on and off-screen.
