I am not interested in marriage, says 54-year-old Nollywood actress
A Nigerian popular Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has declared that she is not interested in marriage, adding that she wouldn’t let societal pressure push her into marriage, hence, she has chosen to remain single.
Penpushing reports that the 54-year-old woman was reported to have made her position on this known in an interview, explaining that the person she earlier planned to engaged in marriage and live with her forever suddenly died
‘The person I could have done forever with is gone. Do you know how long it took me to find him? I wouldn’t let societal pressure push me into marriage, I could not marry someone who wasn’t fully committed to lifelong vows. I don’t believe in getting married just for the sake of it. If you’re not going to be faithful to your vows, then why do it?”, she emphasised.
Penpushing further reports that that the actress in response to whether she still believe in the institution of marriage, declared that she is disappointed with how it has been conducted in recent times, just as she added that she in similar vein, has no romantic interest in Nollywood.
“I don’t need a husband. I’m not looking for a husband and I don’t need one. I don’t need anything. I’m a complete person. I only do things that make me happy, because I believe and I understand the reality that this is just one life and you should live it to the maximum, happiness and peace should be the key’, she said.
“I’m not searching for a husband, because the rumour that I’m searching for a husband has given me wahala, all kinds of people from left, right and centre, looking for me saying they want to marry me. Please, I’m using this opportunity to tell everybody, I am not looking for a husband’, she stressed
Penpushing also reports that she explained that she doesn’t view actors as datable individuals and has never considered dating any actor, adding that she never dated any actor because she isn’t drawn to people she works with.
The Nollywood actress began her acting debut in Owo Blow (1995) and later starred alongside Richard Mofe-Damijo in Out of Bounds (1997), and won Best Actress in Nigeria in 1997 and Best Actress Award for the movie Heaven’s Hell at the 2015 Eko International Film Festiva
