"I want to explore how entrepreneurship education can help those in the entertainment industry. Art schools often don't teach us about entrepreneurship by being a freelance actor‚ you are an entrepreneur and a business person."
Bathabile said she was never attracted to the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry and had no problem sacrificing some of the fame to stay home and study.
"Balancing studying and acting on Scandal! has been difficult but it is do-able. I have never had the desire to be famous so I am fine with people not seeing me at events or doing interviews. The truth is I am also quite shy."
She said that her shyness often left fans who met her confused‚ expecting her to be like her character on Scandal!.
"People see me at the grocery store and think that I am not approachable. People think that I am trying to hide or‚ because I am quiet‚ that I think I am someone special. But at the end of the day‚ I just want to get my bread and milk and go home‚" she said with a laugh.
