Soso Rungqu is by far one of our favourite actresses, the Isidingo star has been in the entertainment industry for a couple of years and the industry is starting to take notice. 

In an interview on Afternoon Express, the thespian opened up about the time she took a break from acting to take care of her ailing dad, “I had to give up the hustle and live at home for three years. My father would sometimes spend weeks and months in the hospital. Then he would be better and laugh‚ then the next thing he had dementia or couldn’t walk. If it wasn’t diabetes‚ epilepsy‚ kidney failure‚ hypertension or blood clots in the brain‚ it was something else. One day his body couldn’t take it anymore and it shut down.”

She then went on to say that she did not regret her decision because her father was an amazing man, “there is nothing I regret‚ about anything that has happened in my past… I would do it all over again… That is what I needed. So‚ now when people try to mess you around‚ you are like: ‘Oh‚ is that the best you can do? I have been dealing with things like this for a very long time,” she explained.
