Eunice Wambui, widely known as Nyasuguta from the hit KBC comedy series Vitimbi, has opened up about the real reason behind her much-talked-about skin bleaching.
The actress, whose recent transformation has been the subject of social media buzz, revealed that the decision was not about beauty trends or personal vanity—but a painful attempt to heal after tragedy.
In 2013, Nyasuguta was involved in a devastating car accident that left her with facial scars and severe discoloration. The injuries caused part of her face to appear lighter than the rest, creating an uneven complexion that deeply affected her confidence.
“I looked like I had two different faces,” she said in a candid interview. “There was a dent that was lighter than the rest of my skin. I thought bleaching was the best way to even it out. My mother also encouraged me, reminding me that as a public figure, people in Nairobi would judge me harshly for appearing with visible scars.”
For Nyasuguta, bleaching was not simply cosmetic—it was a way of reclaiming her confidence and continuing her career in the spotlight. Her journey sheds light on the complex, often painful reasons behind choices that outsiders may dismiss as superficial.
Her story is now sparking wider conversations about the hidden struggles public figures endure and the difficult decisions they make to maintain their image while coping with personal battles.
