There are certain things people think I should not be doing. However, I am a carefree person and I have not let my lifestyle change because I’m popular.
Interestingly, it’s fellow celebrities that are irked by my lifestyle because I’m not living the “celebrity wayâ€. There are places I go to and they tell me: “How can you hang out there!†They believe that as celebrities we should only hang out in classy places. But I go where I am comfortable.
My choice of food also surprises them. I love posho and I will order for it without a tinge of shame. So they ask, how can a person of your status eat posho? My other love is rolex (chapati with eggs)! Actually, I have a particular guy I buy it from and he knows that as soon as he sees my car pull over, I have come for rolex. I am not ashamed about it although people do not expect me to stop at the roadside to buy rolex.
And then there are the boda bodas. Why would I get stuck in a traffic jam and miss a business deal simply because I do not want to be seen on a boda boda?
I do as I please because it’s not easy to please everyone anyway.
