TV personality Janet Mbugua made a shocking revelation about her decision to leave her presenting job. In an interview with Betty Kyallo, she shared that one of the reasons she quit was that her son Huru could no longer recognize her as his mother.

Published on October 28, 2019, Janet, who has worked with Capital FM and Citizen TV, opened up about her personal struggles during the interview.

She recalled a painful moment when she tried to hug her son, but he turned away from her. This incident made her realize that she needed to make changes in her life.

Janet took a six-month break to reorganize her projects and ensure she had a sustainable income. She made sure she had projects that would sustain her for two years even if she left TV.

On marriage, Janet advised taking one's time and being ready before making a commitment. She also emphasized the importance of having a small and intimate circle of friends.

Janet's decision to quit TV was a difficult one, but it ultimately led her to prioritize her family and personal well-being.
