Thuthuka on the other hand has posted a picture with a mysteriously man whom many believe is her real life bae.

Despite appearing like a seasoned actress on Uzalo, Thuthuka said she has no other acting experience and the soapie was her first gig.

Nkanyiso on the other hand almost lost a part on Uzalo but he said that just taught him to be resilient.

He also said many men who watch Uzalo can identify with his character of Njeza.
