One wouldn’t understand the value of a mother until you lose them to death. Trust me, actress Celestine Gachuhi knows this quite well.
Speaking about her childhood, the actress revealed that her mum passed on while she was still young; leaving her behind with an energetic dad capable of remarrying.
And yes, after a while her dad got himself a wife who was meant to play the role of a mother in Selina’s life; but unfortunately she turned out to be a nightmare. Most people will tell you that step mums are the worst; but according to Celestine Gachuhi, her step mum was extra worse!
Depression
According to the now successful actress, having a step mum mistreat; and not show any affection pushed her into depression.
This is because the mum she now had treated more like an outcast and even after class 8; she was sent all the way to Narok where she attended her high school.
When I was in class five, my mother passed away. In 2007, my dad got married to my step-mum. When I finished my primary school in Nakuru I was taken to Narok and life was not good and as amazing as it should be for anyone in high school.
Speaking about depression, Celestine Gichuhi said;
I was depressed with the kind of life I was living and the things I was going through with my step-mum. God’s grace is sufficient and I completed my studies and went Ushagu.
For those wondering how she ended up in Nairobi, Celestine aka Selina opened up saying;
I came to Nairobi to live with my sister in a single room in Kayole. I worked for a travelling theatre that paid 3,800 for three months. Thats how it started, I loved being on TV and my role model back then was Julie Gichuru.
But hey, look at how far she has since come!
