Former Machachari actress Natasha Ngegie, popularly known as Stella, has thrilled fans after reuniting with her former co-star Sofia. The touching reunion sparked nostalgia for viewers of the beloved Kenyan TV series, which concluded in 2019.
Joyful Reunion Captured on Camera
The duo shared photos and videos of their meet-up, showcasing stylish outfits and radiant smiles during a visit to a local TV station. Stella looked chic in a brown top with striped trousers, while Sofia stunned in a sleek black jumpsuit. The reunion appeared to take place at TV47 studios, hinting at a potential interview or on-screen collaboration.
Life After Machachari
Since the show ended, both actresses have pursued different paths. Stella has established herself as a prominent beauty and lifestyle influencer, impressing fans with her transformation from child actor to confident, fashionable woman. Sofia, whose real name is Sharon Mwikali Mutuku, focused on family life but later shared challenges she faced in her marriage.
Sofia revealed she had to leave her husband while pregnant due to mistreatment.

Stella teased the reunion on her Instagram Stories, prompting fans to guess who she had met before revealing Sofia. She later posted photos and a video of Sofia waving at the camera, captioning it: “A moment for this heartwarming meetup, please.”
Fans flooded the comments section with excitement and nostalgia. Popular reactions included:
