Azziad Nasenya: A Star in the Making

Just a year ago, Azziad Nasenya was a 19-year-old campus girl who broke into the entertainment industry with her debut role on the TV series 'Selina'. Little did she know that her 19th year would be a rollercoaster of emotions, with both highs and lows.

As she celebrates her 20th birthday on June 16, 2020, Azziad looks back on her journey, recalling how her primary school teachers recognized her inborn talent for acting. Despite facing criticism and setbacks, she remained determined to pursue her dream of appearing on TV screens.

On her Instagram page, Azziad shared her story, saying, 'Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to be on the screen. This is still the dream that I am working to pursue.' She credited her teachers for spotting her talent early on, which gave her the motivation and determination to keep going.

However, Azziad's journey was not without its challenges. She faced criticism and hate from some quarters, with some calling her 'overrated' and 'lacking talent'. But instead of giving up, she used these negative comments as motivation to work harder and push herself further.

As she turned 20, Azziad reflected on her journey, saying, 'I have not gotten there but my journey just started. Your dreams are valid, don't you ever give up.' Her words are a testament to her unapologetic comeback and determination to succeed in the entertainment industry.

Happy 20th birthday to Azziad Nasenya!
