Dineo Langa is tired of people referring to her as characters that she has played rather than who she actually is. If she is called by a character name one more time, sis might flip.
Fans often fall in love with or form a bond with, celebrities based on the characters they play, not the actual person. Dineo feels that this is a bit annoying and that people need to understand that actors are people too.
Taking to social media to air her frustrations, Dineo let her fans know that her name starts with a D, not with a K – assuming she is referring to her role in The Queen as Kea.
Dineo wants to be called by her name in public on social media. Fans need to get to know the person behind the on-screen roles. Sis was being hella serious and we are sure she won’t stand for this nonsense again.
“My name doesn’t start with a K. My actual names start with D and N.”
