Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has recently revealed that as a child, she always thought she would marry a rich man and live lavishly.

Speaking to BBC Swahili, the South African-based reality TV star said she saw herself wearing Satin gold and living large.

However, as she grew older, she quickly realized that achieving such a lifestyle was more challenging than she had initially thought.

Zari, who is married to Shakib Cham, said she had to work hard to realise the lavish life she had envisioned for herself as a young girl.

"I used to think I would get married to a rich man, and wear gold, but I said it is not easy. When I realized I wanted a good life, I got the motivation to say I don't come from a rich family, but it was my responsibility," Zari expressed.

"I said I wanted a good life, and that has been my motivation in life to say I want a good life," she added.

Zari Hassan and Shakib Cham Lutaaya celebrated their union in a vibrant white wedding on October 3, 2023.

The couple's journey to matrimony began with a modest Muslim ceremony in April 2023, hosted in the intimacy of a home.
