Actress Trisha Khalid, known for her role in the hit TV series “Becky,” revealed that her life wasn’t always glamorous.
In an interview with YouTuber Vicky Vickinah, Trisha shared her journey before becoming an actress. After high school, she went to college and trained to be a cabin crew member. However, her dreams of flying never materialized.
Rather, she worked as a bus conductor for about a year, earning KSh 15,000 monthly.
” Nilikuwa conductor wa Modern Coast bus. Hiyo ni kazi ilikuwa inaniingizia KSh 15,000 per month,” she said.
Trisha found the job physically demanding due to the constant travel and long hours.
“That was the hardest job nishawahi fanya… nilikonda… it was so hard. You can imagine, asubuhi natravel na gari naja Nairobi. Nikifika Nairobi narudi na hiyo basi yenye inaenda Mombasa. And then when I get to Mombasa I sleep. Nikiamka usiku narudi nayo,” she explained.
She did not have time for herself or her family because she was always on the road.
“I didn’t even have time for my family, and I didn’t even have time for myself. It was a very hard job. Ilikuwa passenger akifika kwa destination yake nilikuwa nafaa kushuka niingie kwa boot nimtolee mizigo,” she narrated.
Reflecting on her past, Trisha expressed joy and gratitude for her current profession. She credits media personality Lulu Hassan for helping her enter the acting industry.
Despite her success as an actress, Trisha remains versatile, running several businesses, including a salon and boutique.
