But it’s not just her acting chops that make her stand out; she’s also been open about her journey in the industry. In a 2021 interview with Daily Sun, Zazi shared her struggles with body image and insecurities. Growing up, she faced challenges with her weight and appearance, which is something many can relate to. “As an upcoming artist, you worry about a lot of things. My body weight and the way I look have always been things I worried about in the past,” she said. It’s refreshing to see someone so talented and relatable opening up about their experiences!
What’s even more exciting is that Zazi will be working alongside her father, Vusi Kunene, in this new role. Talk about a family affair!
