Becky, whose real name is Lucy Maina, said she had a dream that she would one day be the main actor in a show that bears her name.

Becky described her journey to stardom as a rollercoaster, having to endure days of meager earnings.
“When I started acting, part of my family felt that I was wasting my time. And the reason is that I would take on extra roles, but the pay was meager,” she said.
“And they’d ask, ‘Is this the career you’d like to pursue?’
She, however, maintained consistency and hard work, and things started getting better. She says her family is very supportive and never misses the show.
“My family is very supportive. Sometimes my aunts and uncles call to comment on how they hate Trisha,” says Becky, who is an orphan.
How Becky got into acting
Lucy Maina started acting in high school, where she was a drama club member.
“After high school, that’s when I started attending plays. I found a friend who encouraged me to audition for roles,” says the secondborn in a family of five siblings.
Her acting career took off after she got a role in the Aunt Boss show.
