Trisha Khalid, best known for her role as “Becky” in the popular TV series, shared her humble beginnings as a Modern Coast bus conductor.
Before rising to fame, Trisha’s career path was marked by diversity and challenge.
Trisha began her journey in the aviation industry, studying cabin crew training and briefly working in the sector. Her first job was as a car hire agent at a company in Mombasa, where she worked before transitioning to a more demanding role as a Modern Coast bus conductor.
“I was a car hire agent at a certain company in Mombasa. After that, I became a bus conductor for Modern Coast. That job paid me 15K per month. I used to travel from Mombasa to Nairobi. I would go to Nairobi and return to the same job. I didn’t even have time for my family or myself,” she said during an interview with Vicky Vickinah.
As a bus conductor, Trisha’s job was physically demanding, and she often had to deal with passengers’ expectations.
The actress recalled the most challenging part of her job was when passengers expected her to retrieve their luggage from the boot, which she described as the “hardest job I’ve ever done.”
Trisha’s experience as a bus conductor helped her develop resilience and adaptability, qualities that have served her well in her subsequent roles in the entertainment industry. Despite the challenges she faced, Trisha continues to thrive and remains a significant figure in Kenyan entertainment.
