Biola Adekunle, a Nollywood actor and producer, has revealed that getting married to her husband limited the types of romantic parts she could play in films.
“Marriage had no negative impact on my career because my husband is a fan of what I do.” I can play any character, but I’m not interested in playing romantic roles. He is my pillar and occasionally joins me on stage. He isn’t the type of man to be envious; I assume it’s because he has faith in me. It was difficult for me to act as a tout in a movie at first, but my manager encouraged me to do so.

“I can do anything for my job but not to the extent of going naked. Despite the failed marriages in the industry, I wasn’t scared when I got married because I knew I was marrying my friend. My husband doesn’t even listen to rumours or gossips about me. He tells people it is the nature of my job.
“I’m always cautious in the film industry; I don’t try to impress anyone.” I’m free to dress however I choose. I’m producing movies these days because I basically want to keep my career alive. At the end of the day, I don’t make enough money from the films I make. Marketers often come up with a variety of reasons to justify their actions. “Most of us have a’side hustle’ (another business) because the earnings we make aren’t particularly impressive,” she told Saturday Beats.
She also discussed how she handles some of the harsh comments she receives on social media.
“I have read several negative comments about me on social media but I don’t allow them to get to me. There was a time someone told me I was not looking as sophisticated as my colleagues,” she added.
