Tyler Mbaya, famously known as Baha from Machachari, is embarking on a personal journey of self-discovery, opting to step away from our TV screens for the time being. After a remarkable 14-year tenure as part of our television family, he’s taking a hiatus to explore new avenues.
In a recent interview with the Dialogue Dive YouTube show, the former child actor opened up about his life journey and his aspirations for the future.
He expressed a desire to take on challenges that will propel him to new heights in his career.
While focusing on his career aspirations, Baha is also fully dedicated to raising his daughter, Astra Nyambura, as a single father. Describing fatherhood as a rollercoaster ride, he acknowledges the challenges but finds immense joy in the journey.
Having grown up without a father figure for ten years, Baha is determined to create a different experience for his daughter. He emphasizes the importance of being present in her life and aims to cultivate a strong bond based on trust and friendship.
“My dad was always sorting out all things needed, but I feel like being around your kid more you can get to be their friend. Me trying to be so much in my kid’s life, those dads who put in that effort it’s not easy”
Despite the sacrifices he’s made to prioritize fatherhood, Baha finds fulfillment in the experience, noting that it has taught him the value of unconditional love.
“So that’s why I opted out of options like going overseas kuhustle. Being close to your kid at their tender age is something that you should fight for a lot.”
Nonetheless, he described it as a fun journey “And I love it coz I’m learning unconditional love. “
As a parent navigating the digital age, Baha has chosen to introduce his daughter to social media, despite the inevitable criticism and negativity it may bring.
“You are going to face it whether social media or kwa ground. so you just learned o channel that hate and those stones they are throwing, you use them”
