Kini told Daily Sun that he has learnt a lot about acting since he started shooting Umkhokha in December.

“I’m over the moon to get a chance to appear on Umkhokha for a long time. Getting this role has taught me many things, and I want to grow more in acting,” he said.

He said his love of acting has developed to the level where he wants to go as far as producing TV dramas and movies.

“I won’t reveal more about my character, but people must be glued to their TVs to see what will happen going forward,” he said.
