Ted Kitana, better known as Teacher Kilunda, a former star of the popular local TV show Tahidi High, has revealed how the sudden loss of income from the show’s cancellation caused him to move back to his rural home. The Covid-19 pandemic was the cause of the show’s cancellation, leaving Teacher Kilunda and many other actors in the industry struggling to make ends meet.
In an online interview, Teacher Kilunda explained the sudden decision made by the management as a shock and he had to quickly come up with a plan to survive. He relocated to his hometown in Kangundo and has come to appreciate the peaceful village life, although he is still open to any job opportunities in the city.
To keep his fans entertained, Teacher Kilunda has started a YouTube channel where he plans to produce entertaining content. He has also opened a shop and is considering opening a barber shop in the future. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Teacher Kilunda remains optimistic and is available for any acting job opportunities.
Unfortunately, not all actors have been as fortunate as Teacher Kilunda. Some of his colleagues and friends in the industry have struggled to make ends meet, but Teacher Kilunda advises them not to give up. He believes that those who keep their chin up will have a better chance of survival.
The actor’s story has received a lot of support from Kenyans, including Kamau Kinuthia, also known as Omosh, who shared his own struggles with rent and providing for his family. Since sharing his story, Omosh has received support from Kenyans, including monetary gifts and an opportunity to build a house.
