Over the weekend, Skeem Saam actress Lerato Marabe attended one of her friend’s weddings and boy did she look like a dream – her outfit was giving.
Even her Skeem Saam co-stars couldn’t help but commend Lerato on her look. Cedric Fourie asked if she had a plus one.
Lerato Marabo recently did an interview on Metro FM’s breakfast show with Mo Flava and Khutso Theledi.
She addressed rumours that she got married traditionally in early 2021.
Images surfaced on social media where it appeared the actress was wearing traditional wedding attire next to her hubby.
In an interview on Metro FM’s breakfast show Lerato revealed that she didn’t get married.
“Big big lies, I didn’t get married last year,” she told the show.
“There were celebrations at her home in Johannesburg and it started raining so she used her grandmother’s blanket as cover which she believes led people to think she was getting married.
“We were performing a ceremony at home last year. So it rained on that day and the blanket I was wearing that day is my granny’s blanket. So I just took a picture and posted it and everyone was like “She got married” not even.
“Everywhere I go they ask me about my husband,” said Lerato Marabe.
Playing The Character Of Pretty
Lerato notes that playing the character of Pretty hasn’t been easy.
“I think with Pretty it was very easy, we are going through life at the same time. A lot of the time we go through the same thing.”
Pretty getting sexually harassed by Nimza is something she experienced personally.
“A lot of the time, we go through the same thing, especially with the sexual harassment story. We went through the very same thing.”
A couple of years ago Lerato opened up about being physically assaulted by a fan.
"In high school, my friends and I decided to go to KFC after school. So while we were waiting in the queue, this one lady walked up to me and slapped me across the face because of the storyline at the time."
Marabe told Tshisa Life about sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
"A lot of the time, the people in the industry will promise them jobs or whatever it is and be like you know what? If you sleep with me I will give you a job.' Women even laugh about it. It wasn't like a serious thing. I was like: 'Are you guys serious? There are so many ways that you can go about it, why would you sleep with someone?'"
Marabe is currently focused on making a success out of her career. Although she did not study acting but she has a bright future ahead of her. She has her sights set on becoming one of the biggest stars in the drama and eventually moving on to even bigger roles.
Fun Fact: Lerato Marabe is a lover of cars. A BMW Gusheshe is one of her faves.
