In an interview with The Sun, she described her
appearance in Mo Abudu’s Fifty ‘as a roller
coaster ride’.
She also talked about playing the character of
Tola in the feature film. She urged people not to
be quick to condemn others around them as
everyone is battling one challenge or the other.
“I played Tola, a TV reality star, who is not
happily married. She has a deep dark family
secret that threatens her very core and she tries
to come to terms with it. A lot of people can
relate with it; we all have our battles, scars and
areas when we cry at night. Just that we should
not be quick to dismiss others, because, we are
all going through something,” she said.
The mother of two also touched on her acting
career. She said the grace of God was the
reason she had remained in mainstream all
through the years.
“There is no magic wand. I have the grace of
God. It has not been a walk in the park. I have
been filming since 2012 till I was a part of Fifty.
I
keep hoping for the best and I do my best
whenever the opportunity comes. I just have to
do the work and God has been bringing the
opportunities my way,” she said.
She also said being a mother has been her
biggest role till date and it gives her unending
joy, adding that she strives to be a good role
model to her kids but this doesn’t mean there
are plans for her to quit acting.
She said: “I never thought I would quit the
industry because of marriage; [rather] I thought I
would quit the industry if the mediocrity
continues.”
