Nollywood actress Grace Amah has thrown a huge shot at many Nollywood actresses who she revealed get their luxury gifts from destiny helpers.
Speaking with Punch, the actress said;
“When you want to pray, you ask God to send you a destiny helper. I’m sure it is their (actresses) destiny helpers that are buying cars and houses for them. It cannot be the same work that I do; we should not tell ourselves lies.”
The actress continued saying;“I needed something badly at a time and I reached out to a friend. She told me that I was a big woman; I shouldn’t be lacking. People forget that we are humans too before being actors and we are not as rich as we may appear on screen.
“On the other hand, I don’t blame people. Actors that flaunt flashy cars and houses on social media are portraying the industry in a different way. We work hard too; they shouldn’t make us feel like the lazy ones. Yes, some actors are doing well and we know them.”
On motherhood, Amah said; “My parents were not in support of my decision to act because they felt I would be wayward. At some point, my dad sent me packing and I had to stay with a colleague for a while. But later, they became proud of me and gave me their blessings. I was able to convince them that I had passion for acting and I could assist the family with it. So, I will support my son in whatever he decides to do in life provided it is not illegal.”
“When I came back to Nigeria after the birth of my son, I saw many new faces and I looked like an ‘old school’. I then decided to reach out to people I knew who were still in the industry.
“We all have our uniqueness and no one can take that away from me. Whenever I am on set, I try to give my best to show that I know my job. Once you can interpret your roles very well, you will always get jobs. The industry is big enough to accommodate everyone.”
