Was Tabitha Gatwiri dating?
The talented actress, who was found dead in her house on October 31, kept talking about how she couldn’t wait to take her man to see her family.
Gatwiri, who used to play the role of Murume’s girlfriends in their viral skits, kept her love life private, and it is unclear if she was in a serious relationship.
After her death, a skit of her and her acting boyfriend, Murume, re-emerged online eliciting mixed reactions.
In the comic skit, Gatwiri and Murume were lying on a cosy couch, and she started a conversation about her death, which the former Churchill Show comedian seemed uneasy about.
“Murume, nikuulize, nikakufa sahii unaweza take how long ndio utafute mtu mwengine wa kuoa (Murume, let me ask you, if I were to die right now, how long would it take for you to find another person to marry)?” the actress asked.
An angry Murume, who was not comfortable with the death topic, responded:
“Kukufa tena? Kukufa imetoka wapi tena? Usiniulize maswali za utoto kama hizo Gatwiri. Uliza maswali najua (Die? Where is that coming from? Don’t ask me childish questions like that, Gatwiri. Ask mature questions).”
The conversation went on with Gatwiri asking more questions about what would happen to her relationship with Murume in case she died, but the actor was not comfortable talking about the death topic.
