What does acting mean to you?

If you weren’t acting, would you have being?
- Hilda – If i was acting professionally, i would have been teaching. But if you look at it, teaching is what i do when i act.
You went into Politics at some time?

Are you fulfilled as an actress?
- Hilda – I have always been a fulfilled person, not just as an actress but as a human being. I’m an extremely happy person.
How do you give back to the society?
- Hilda – I do this through training. I have 50 kids who are not my biological children. I have 3 biological children but i’ve adopted 50 others. These children need support and i can give them that. What i do is i pay their school fees, buy them clothes and give them food. I also help them find homes.
Why did you reconcile with your husband after a long period separation?
- Hilda – Everything in life has stages and time. If i say i’m a Christian and love God, then i should be able to live a life that Christ would be proud of. It doesn’t matter who is right or not in a relationship. We did it for ourselves, our children, others but most importantly God.
It’s always pays to be nice and generous to the society.
