"She is okay and always understands whatever I want to do, whether I'm acting or doing things I like such as fishing, rugby, or futsal," Juma stated. He added that his wife only gets upset if he returns home injured from non-work-related activities. This unwavering support allows him to focus on his craft without external pressures or assumptions.

Juma feels that marriage does not prevent him from being a professional actor tasked with romantic scenes. "I need to think of the best way to perform the scene, and I had already set boundaries before marriage," he explained. He believes that every performance should have limits to respect audience sensitivities, particularly for younger viewers.

He takes the initiative to discuss scene boundaries with directors and scriptwriters, rather than waiting for his wife's input. This maturity is something he hopes other married actors will emulate. Juma also stressed that marital harmony requires open communication, where both partners actively listen and explain their perspectives. "We need to play our part and explain to them because women, they say they understand, but we need to make them understand and explain further," he said.
