Renowned Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has urged critics to refrain from mocking her or spreading false rumors about her personal life.
She also opened up about the man she once planned to marry, shedding light on the circumstances that affected their relationship.
In a video that was posted on the official YouTube channel of Oyinmomo TV during an interview, she disclosed that the person that she wanted to marry is dead but that she sees no big deal in that.
“I don’t allow criticism to weigh me down because nobody can live my life for me. There are some women who are interested in getting married but could not find a man to marry, but some people always mock them without knowing what had happened to them in the past. The person that I want to marry is dead, but I don’t see any big deal in that. I don’t need to explain anything to anybody, if those that are talking about me really cared, they could have been praying for me instead of laughing at me.”
Bimbo Akintola has opened up about early encounter with junior colleague, Iyabo Ojo.
Bimbo said she was impressed by Iyabo’s determination and even helped her secure a lead role in a film.
“Iyabo came to my parents house. She was very young and I asked, ‘What do you want?’ She said she wanted to act. She was 19 when we met.
“What I like is that she went the extra mile to fulfill her acting dream,” she said.
However, things took a turn when Iyabo allegedly offended Bimbo after getting the role, particularly since Bimbo had to advocate for her to get the part.
She said the situation got complicated when Iyabo got pregnant while working on the film.
“Iyabo offended me when I got her a lead role. I don’t beg for roles, but I did for her. She was pregnant,” she said.
