Nandi Khubone opens up on her character as ‘Sibongile’

Nandi Khubone has taken to her social media to open up about acting and her mental health.

The star shared a lengthy message revealing that her character in the telenovela has made her confront situations she would’ve otherwise avoided dealing with mentally.

Nandi revealed that when she was still a film student, she was told how hard it is to remove oneself from the character’s body and she was yet to experience such until today.

She said removing herself from Sibongile’s character was harder than it was because of how much she would like to shield her from the world that didn’t serve her.

“Removing myself from Sibongile’s body was harder than it usually was for me, because of how much I would like to shield her from a world that didn’t serve her.

“I had a few moments of breaking down in my green room due to the work I had prepared. Before the scenes started I had done my normal meditations but nothing could have prepared me for the moments in time when I was present,” she wrote.
