Former Churchill Show comedienne Nasra Yusuf has broken up with her Coasterian husband director Rashid after five years of marriage.
Nasra lamented that she lost everything because of a marriage that she was trying so hard to save, lamenting that she received a lot of criticism from the Somali community for marrying a man from the Coast.
So yes I am single…Anyone that knows me, knows that I fought for that relationship. I lost touch with family because of it, I lost myself and my career because of it, I lost friends because of it, I got constant criticism from my community because of it but I was still willing to make it work even though the roots of our problems were the same year in year out for 5 years,” Nasra wrote in part in a post on social media.
The comedian admitted that she found it hard to move on after the breakup with director Rashid.
“Moving on hasn’t been easy on me, I had very extremely low moments. I cried myself to sleep, I broke down several times in front of friends strangers, I was in denial, I had so much regret but I finally accepted that it was time to close that chapter. I went through all the stages of grief and were it not for my mom, sister and friends, I would have sunk even deeper, so thank you guys for walking with me during this hard period,” she wrote.
She further wished her ex-husband well in his endeavors.
“I sincerely wish Director Rashid the best life has to offer, you are an incredible human being. You deserve to be happy and you also deserve someone better.. May Allah open doors for you and may you never lack amin🙏🙏”
The comedienne further stated she was done crying over her broken marriage and that she was looking forward to get into a new relatinship.
Nasra stated that she wanted to date men from her Somali community after her failed marriage to a man from the Kenyan coast.
