“I’m a prayer warrior and I believe in God. In 2019, it got so tough and I went back to visits my parents and they were like it’s been 11 years maybe we just take you to London where your sisters are, but I told them I believe I am an actor.

I chose to fast for 21 days 6am to 6pm not the 24 hours one… and after 21 days…One week later Damaris aka Loreta (Zora) send me the Maria Audition but I did not go. That week I had gone to so many auditions but when I looked at the Location I said I’m not going.

After like three weeks, they we again re-casting for Victor and Luwi. They were asking guys to send pictures and must be good actors. We were then shortlisted 5 guys and we ended up being picked me and Luwi. That is entirely God. When you put God first and do your part nothing is impossible” said Ronald Ndubi aka Victor.
