To make matters worse, the gossip claimed she had gotten pregnant for him and later terminated the pregnancy.
Her words:
“They said I got pregnant for my on-screen daddy, Mr. Macaroni, and that I aborted the pregnancy. I was shocked. When did that happen? It is not possible. Must there be such a thing between people in a working relationship? I was really devastated then.”
The actress explained that the rumour cut deeply because of her close professional relationship with the comedian. But over time, she learned that addressing such falsehoods only keeps them alive.
The actress added:
“One of the things I have learned from Mr. Macaroni is to keep your silence for your own peace. The more you come out to counter false claims, the longer the matter drags and you will have to keep explaining.”

According to Mr Macaroni, sometime around 2021/ 2022, he fell victim to a scam and another failed investment that made him lose all his savings. The movie star said even though it was a great turning point in his life, he never mentioned his troubles to anybody because he believed that the show must go on.
Macaroni, known for tackling ills in society, said as a result of losing all of his savings, he started to borrow money from different sources to settle all of his pending commitments and carry out certain responsibilities he believed were his own to fulfil.
