Over a decade since her passing, the actor continues to keep her memory alive by paying tribute to her during birthdays and other special anniversaries that marked their relationship.
How did Baha honour his mother?
On November 1, Baha took to social media to share a touching message dedicated to his mum.
Accompanying his post was a nostalgic photo of Wanade smiling warmly, a moment that sparked deep emotions in the comment section among his fans.
“Not a day goes by when you are not loved and missed mama,” he wrote, a message that captured the enduring grief and love he still holds for her.
What happened to Baha’s mum?
Baha’s mum, Wanade, was a celebrated actress best known for her role in Mother-in-Law, where she portrayed a lively and witty character loved by many Kenyan TV viewers.
Sadly, she passed away in 2013 after a long battle with cancer. At the time of her death, Baha was still a teenager in Form One.
The loss deeply affected him and his older brother, who is also an actor.
He once shared that he even had to transfer schools just to be closer to his sibling during the difficult period.
Tragically, two years later, their father also passed away, leaving the brothers to navigate life without both parents.
May both their souls continue resting in peace.
