Renowned Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has urged people to stop mocking her and putting out false rumors about her.
She also opened up about a personal chapter in her life, revealing what happened to the man she once planned to marry.
In a video interview shared on the official YouTube channel of Oyinmomo TV, Bimbo Akintola revealed that the man she had planned to marry has passed away. However, she expressed that she doesn’t see it as a big deal and has come to terms with it.
“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.
