"Omuntu agyewa laavu?" or "Where does one find love?" is the central question driving "Hello Mr. Right," a reality dating show currently captivating audiences on StarTimes' Makula Kika channel. Now in its third season and backed by V&A Sherry, the program blends romance, humor, and drama, drawing viewers into the unpredictable world of modern dating.

Otis, please ... do not ask unnecessary questions.

— SharonSharon tells the host Roger Otis, V&A Sherry's brand influencer, when he questions her intentions towards Hassan.

The latest episode offered a stark reminder of love's complexities. The focus was on Hassan, the week's "Mr. Right," whose initial confidence impressed several contestants. However, his outspoken nature soon created a divide among the women vying for his attention. Sharon, one of the contestants, directly asked Hassan to choose her, but he ultimately passed, quoting a Baganda proverb: "Something beautiful does not need to advertise itself."

Hassan then turned his attention to Success, showering her with money in a grand gesture. The situation took a dramatic turn when Success flipped her placard to black, signaling rejection despite accepting the money. "I accept the money, but I will not be taking the man," she declared, a remark that elicited laughter and left Hassan visibly frustrated. Sharon seized the moment, remarking, "It serves you right for turning away someone who loves you and choosing someone who doesn't."

As the Baganda say, 'Something beautiful does not need to advertise itself.' So Sharon, I'll pass.

Rochart Kaweesa, Brand Manager for V&A Sherry, noted that these moments capture the show's essence. "Love is complicated, but it is one of the most beautiful things and feelings to share," he said. "As V&A Sherry, we celebrate everyone who has found love on the show, and encourage those still searching to look forward to those moments, while toasting to the freedom of being single and having options."
