Nollywood actress, Oyindamola Sanni has recounted how she rejected roles that clashed with Christianity.
During a recent interview, the screen diva revealed that when she was new in the movie industry, there were roles that she observed were in conflict with her Christian faith.
According to her, she had to be careful with scripts she accepted.
Oyindamola Sanni added that it was a challenge to be that selective based on religion but with time the industry adjusted.
“While honing my skills as a newbie in the industry, I could not accept every role, because there were some roles that were against my Christian faith. Rejecting some roles as an up-and-coming actress was a challenge, but as the saying goes, ‘Do you, and the world will adjust’.” she said.
Speaking further, the filmmaker talked about her unique qualities.
According to her, her versatility was one of her selling points.
She said;
“I don’t have any role model, but I look up to great people who are good at what they do, such as Kunle Afolayan, Femi Adebayo, Odunlade Adekola and Funke Akindele.
“Being versatile and able to transcend times is a quality I don’t joke with. I have been working on myself to improve my skills. I have improved, and now play a wide range of roles, making me a versatile actress. I have produced nine movies so far. And, I have featured in many films as well.”
She also recalled the memorable moment of her career.
“That was when I produced my first movie. I had appeared in a number of movies before then, but as an up-and-coming actor and producer, it was a big deal for me to make a film that starred people like Faithia Balogun and Yemi Solade.” she said.
