In another post, Inno thanked fellow actor Tumisho Masha for his kindness during their time of need.
“Thank you Tumisho Masha. My kids went to bed with pyjamas tonight. You rushed to the shops to get necessities for my kids and hubby. They went to bed like everything is normal even when the situation is so terrible. I appreciate you, my brother,” Inno wrote.

Inno and Milly have previously spoken about the trauma of losing their parents at a young age.
In an episode of their YouTube podcast, Cent Twinz TV, they discussed losing their mother at age four and their father during their teenage years.
The twins shared the emotional impact and lingering questions about their mother’s death, which they were told was due to electrocution.
“It caused a lot of trauma for me. The first couple of years as a child, I don’t remember them at all. The only memories I have are of me in my 20s. Now that we are older, we have so many questions that are unanswered,” Milly said.
Inno added, “It’s the memory loss for me as well. I didn’t realize that until I was married, until I had children. I know my mom from a picture; I don’t know her as a person. I have zero memories of my mom.”
