SHUGA controversy haunts actors! A local based Christian University is said to have questioned two of its students about their involvement in Shuga , the hard hitting drama that got most TV viewers talking about in the last few weeks.
The two male actors who played major roles in the drama are said to have been summoned and sources say risk being suspended. The University's administration is said to have told the two that their roles in Shuga portrayed a negative image of the University.
Sources say the two, who are busy doing their semester examinations, are not sure whether they will be suspended for portraying what the University further termed as 'immoral'.
On the other hand, sources close to MTV say the music channel is anxiously waiting to see how the University handles the matter before taking any action.
MTV chose Nairobi as the backdrop for the hard-hitting new TV drama series that aims to blow the lid off reckless sex lives of young Kenyans and their partners. The drama series was part of a pioneering multimedia campaign called MTV Staying Alive Ignite - designed to motivate sexually active youth and young adults with hopes of modifying their sexual behavior.
