Actors still digesting canning of 7deLaan Actors Ingrid Paulus and Nobuhle Mahlasela are looking forward to their new career paths after the canning of 7de Laan. Report: PatBambalele
For many actors who started at a young age with the show, it has been a great and fulfilling journey that has been full of learning phases. Mahlasela, who made her debut on the show, said it has been amazing and challenging for a Zulu-speaking woman who only speak Afrikaans when acting.“The journey has been amazing, I don’t want to lie. I have learnt a lot. It has been most of my career. I got other work through this show. It has been a learning experience and Afrikaans is my third language.
We were like a family because we spent so much time together, to be honest with you.”Paulus shared how she was star-struck at first, having to work with some of the stars that she looked up to while she was younger. As she says goodbye to her famous character Venessa, she said she will miss her character's spontaneity.“Vanessa is extroverted and very driven. As Ingrid, I am an introvert. It is a character that started small, over time it grew on people, and they fell in love with it.
