Sorisha Naidoo says fans will see a new side of her in season 3 of The Real Housewives of Durban because she's learnt to trust her gut and be direct

PREPARE TO BE SHOCKED

SHE’S been running around all morning, but you you’d never say so just by looking at her. 

Sorisha Naidoo is the picture of cool elegance as she settles down on a sleek sofa at the posh Radisson Blu Hotel a stone’s throw from the swanky Platinum Walk at Oceans Mall in Um- Umhlanga, which her businessman husband, Vivian Reddy, helped develop. 

The R1,3-billion mall features high-end international fashion brands such as Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry and Gucci – but while the millionaire’s row of stores is a first for a KZN shopping centre, luxury is hardly a new concept for this former beauty queen. 

It’s no secret Sorisha is one of the richest cast members on The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) and she isn’t shy to flaunt her fabulous lifestyle on the popular reality series. 

In the latest season she shows another side of herself and it’s got people talking.

She’s been giving some of the housewives the rough edge of her tongue, which is highly unusual as she’s long been considered the peacemaker in the group. 

But she isn’t making any apologies for calling a spade a spade. 

“This has definitely been one of the bumpiest seasons because I’ve been through a sort of metamorphosis,” she tells YOU. 

“I’ve always wanted to be direct with people and tell them how I really feel and so I’ve done a lot of work on myself. I’ve had a lot of spiritual talks with myself and I realised that if I’m holding things in, I’m not being authentic.”
