Benita Ugochukwu, a Nigerian actress and entrepreneur, has said she does not consider it a big deal acting a romantic scene as a married woman.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, she said, “I don’t avoid romantic scenes. Acting such scene does not mean one is getting intimate with one’s co-actor. It is all about make-believe.”
Ugochukwu, who says she wants to impact positively on society with her talent, also noted that she had wanted to become an actress since she was a kid.
She said, “I have been acting since I was a kid, when I featured in nursery school dramas. I grew up having so much passion for bringing different roles to life. I have always known that I was meant to be an actress.”
The mother of three also stated that one did not have to choose between money and love in marriage.
She said, “I love being in love and I like having money as well. Having the two is great and something to be thankful to God for. One can have the both together, without having to choose just one.”
Speaking on the influence social media has had on her career, the actress said, “I like the fact that it helps us connect with fans all over the world. A lot of fans, including those in other countries, have written to me, telling me how much they admire my work and are inspired by me.”
Ugochukwu who has acted in films such as ‘When You See Me’, ‘Tears Of Omasiri’, ‘Crazy Stupid Love’, ‘Indifference’ and ‘Weapon of Love, also maintained that she could not quit acting for anyone.
She added, “Acting is something I love to do so much and I am blessed to have a husband who supports me all the way.”
