Well-known South African actress Nothando Ngcobo is ready to face the world again. This was after she took a break from the screen and social media to focus on her mental health, among other things.
She said that sometimes being a public figure can challenge one’s mental health.
“I needed this break to focus on many things. I was able to focus on my family and myself. But most importantly, I focused more on my mental health. Being a public figure is not easy. Sometimes I don’t know how to deal with everything, my fans, personal life, and fame all at once.
“Sometimes I ask myself if I was going to be loved this much even if I wasn’t a celebrity. The pressure of acting a certain way in public because there are people who are looking up to you and also to avoid ruining your reputation is a strain on its own. And people don’t know how much pressure their favourite celebs are under. That’s why I say I needed this break,” said Nothando.
The 30-year-old actress from Hammarsdale outside Durban, KZN is known as Hlelo on Uzalo.
She disappeared from the screens for a couple of weeks. But now she’s back as a mum who is raising her child in jail.
Nothando said now that she is back, she believes she’s fit enough to face anything.
“Sometimes we should stop overdoing things. We must avoid trying to please everyone. We must also know when it’s time to rest. That way, we are taking care of our mental health. And this is very important,” said Nothando.
