Nandipha Khubone Was Born In May 2000 In Durban
Actress Nandipha Khubone hails from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal province. She was born in the region on May 25, 2000, to Mr. Khubone and Mrs. Siyabonga Majozi. Not much is known about her family background and childhood.
Nandi’s parents divorced while she was in Grade 9. Their divorce almost ruined her life until she found a way to deal with the situation. One of such ways was to enroll in an extramural class, where she would spend time away from home.
Khubone reportedly has three siblings – two sisters and a brother. They are not known within the public space like the actress, and Nandipha is yet to personally introduce them or any other member of her family to her fans.
The actress attended a co-ed primary school and later an all-girl secondary school, where she took part in minor roles in her school’s drama club. It was during her time in the school’s drama wing that she developed a keen passion for acting.
Nandi began her studies with the New York Film Academy in 2018. She briefly lived abroad while schooling at the renowned institution and later returned home due to Covid-19. She eventually completed her studies online in the year 2020.
The NYFA alum majored in filming, directing, and producing at the institution. Her course of study influenced her decision to add filmmaking to her acting talent. Evidently, she is doing great in the industry already and also stands a chance of going far in both acting and filmmaking.
The Actress Had Her Career Big Break In 2020 With Gomora
Nandi began making waves as an actress in the year 2020 after she auditioned and won the role of Sibongile in the television series Gomora. But before then, she had made an appearance in a project called Bonnie & Bonnie in 2019.
Bonnie & Bonnie only earned her little fame due to her acting skill that could go unnoticed. Her young career eventually received the boost it needed the following when she joined other actors in Gomora.
Through Gomora, Khubone has risen to immense popularity both within and outside the country. The project has also paved the way for her to meet and work with big names in the industry.
Riding on the success of her career, she’s been able to also promote brands like Coca-Cola on her social media page and bag ambassadorial deals. The Durban-born actress is definitely on her way to great success as an entertainer.
Nandipha Khubone’s Other Movies Besides Gomora
As mentioned earlier, Bonnie & Bonnie is the only local project she has been part of apart from Gomora. The film showcases the development of true friendship between two strong and independent women, determined to make their mark on the world.
She starred alongside Mair Mulroney in the short film. Khubone is currently starring as Sibongile in Gomora. Her character finds herself lovestruck by two men belonging to different worlds, a thug and a rich man. However, her love for the finer things in life would land her in a dilemma that upsets her blessed, Mr. Duncan.
Nandi is unarguably the suitable person for her character. She keeps thousand of viewers glued to their screens through her acting skill. Above, she effortlessly brings her character to her life to the point that she once admitted in an interview that she finds it difficult sometimes to separate herself from her character’s body.
In other words, she has fully immersed herself into her that she feels like “shielding her from a world that didn’t serve her.” The actress may not share a lot of things in common with her character, but she has comfortably learned to drop the real Nandipha after meditation and wear her character on set.
Apart from acting, Khubone also has a passion for directing, producing, and making films. Presently, she is yet to win an award for her role in the entertainment industry.
