Growing up in the spotlight is no child's play. Just ask Natasha Thahane.
During an interview with DRUM, the 21-year-old actress opened up about the challenges of growing up in the public's eye.
"I'm only 21, and it's a tough one, because I'm growing up in front of people," she told the local publication.
"For me, when I start dating, they're going to be counting all the boyfriends that I've dated, until I'm 30 or 35. They need to understand that I'm still young. I'm still gonna go through me breaking up with someone, having to cry on social media..."
